CIRCLES OF STONE: “Ian’s amazing fantasy world shows that Oxford really is THE city for amazing fantasy authors. Name any top selling fantasy series of the last couple of centuries and you’ll soon be adding The Mirror Chronicles to the list along with greats by Pullman, Tolkein and Lewis. Fantastic stuff!”
THE BELL BETWEEN WORLDS: “Book one gets off to a cracking start at a blistering pace and is going to be an absolute winner for ages 10 upwards.”
“This book is pitched as an epic fantasy, and it really is… truly the beginning of what promises to be a great fantasy series for kids, but also enjoyable for teens and adults.”
