I loved it. One of the best books I've ever read. Imagine Sharpe with a female lead and warlocks – need I say more?” —Peter Newman
“I loved that book so much I read it in two sittings (and it's not short!). It has elements of Bernard Cornwell’s Sharpe novels, mixed with Jane Austenesque characters, against the backdrop of war, with a side order of fireball-wielding sorcerers. The lead character is simply wonderful” —Emma Newman
“Tchaikovsky weaves together a story that keeps you hooked with breathless battle scenes, well-drawn characters and an uneasy feeling in your gut that while Marshwic and her red-coated comrades are winning battles they’re slowly losing the war . . . An engrossing story, beautifully told” —SFX
“This is a fantasy novel with muskets, magic, war machines and social hierarchies . . . It’s a credit to the skill of the author that both the world and the characters contain plenty of surprises” —Starburst Magazine
“Moving, gripping and wonderfully paced, Tchaikovsky has produced a strong standalone book about a remarkable heroine” —The Bookbag
“A story of gravitas, that uses its fantasy premise to hold a mirror to our past . . . Definitely a thought-provoking read” —SFBook, SFBook
“Guns of the Dawn has a lot to say about the nature of war and the real reasons as to why such conflicts happen. At the same time, it is also an involving, entertaining read that flows very fluidly and keeps the reader turning the pages well into the night” —GingernutsofHorror
“My favorite fantasy that I’ve read this year . . . Adrian Tchaikovsky has assembled an engrossing, enchanting novel. This is one stand-alone novel that makes me deeply hope for a sequel” —FantasyLiterature
