About this book

Adventure fantasy that's unlike anything you've read before. Take the setting and wonder and magic of The Arabian Nights, mix in the modern fantasy traditions, and bake it with some strong characterization and out pops Throne of the Crescent Moon -- a fantasy adventure set in a magical middle eastern world.It's so well done, with so much action, adventure, and pure FUN, that I can't help but recommend Throne of the Crescent Moon as one of the better (and wildly different) fantasy books to come out since 2010. And it doesn't hurt that the prose is wonderful to boot.My only complaint here is the author has not yet published a sequel to this wonderful read. If you haven't picked up this zany tale (and I suspect most of you haven not), treat yourself to this book. It's like nothing you've read before.
