Praise for"The Last Days of Magic"
Reading "The Last Days of Magic" is like playing a well-constructed video game. There s a fantastic world . . . and an exciting storyline. Set as a battle between wild-and-free ancient Magic and aggressive Religion bent on absolute control, the action focuses on Ireland, designated as the last place on Earth where real magic (known as Ardor) still flourishes in its natural form. . . . An honest, beautifully detailed book and an entertaining read.

Maria Dahvana Headley
A tightly wound adult fantasy epic, an engrossing thriller that doesn t skimp on historical detail. . . . While there s enough worldbuilding here to support a whole series, Tompkins demonstrates you don t need a multivolume saga to achieve lifelike detail and epic scope.
"Shelf Awareness"
Tompkins has woven together a beautiful tapestry, the warp and weft a tumultuous crossing of pagan faith and Christian fervor. . . .I highly recommend this book to any fan of epic fantasy.
