"Once again, we see young Thorik Dain on a quest that he certainly didn't ask for, yet it is a journey he will not avoid. There's a human quality to his character, in that he tries to do the right thing but somehow ends up failing; he also has successes on occasion, which is the essence of human life. Mr. Wedgeworth has again drawn a wonderful world for these characters, and his landscapes are vivid and dynamic. He has clearly put much time and effort into these stories, and it shows" - Andrew Kelleher (Amazon Customer)

“Engaging, if not groundbreaking, fantasy adventure” - Kirkus Discoveries
“It thrusts you into a land full of mystical history and suspense” - Oelwein Daily Register
“These characters are rich with life and unique quirks which leaves the reader anxious to discover more” - Outlook Press
“The only complaint I have is, I wish the book was longer so I could keep reading. I strongly recommend this book (and the series) to all readers looking for an original fantasy adventure” - Lake Mills Graphic
“Readers will find themselves thrilled. Wedgeworth has created and developed unique characters that have depth and individual traits.” – Fred Waiss (SF Author)
“First I have to say -- YAY! More Thorik. Those who read my reviews regularly know that I hate when a series changes the focus from the original main character. So I was relieved to see that this series wasn't going to do that to me. I absolutely love that Thorik is intelligent. He can't make fire from his palms or shoot a laser beam from his eyes. He thinks. We're again taking on a journey through their world. Twists, turns and surprises keep you turning the pages, yet again, during book two. If you liked Thorik in book one, you'll like him even more as you read through the book. I found myself feeling as though I was right there with them through the wonderful descriptions and story. The same as book one, I couldn't wait to pick up book three after I'd finished this one.” – Makayla Thomas (Book Reviewer)
“I had the pleasure of reading Rise of Rummon and was absolutely blown away! The author did a fantastic job keeping the reader interested through describing vivid lands and characters. It was a very easy/casual read that was action-packed making it a page-turner and a book that I couldn’t put down. One thing that I love most about this book are the characters. The characters complement each other so well it provides the perfect balance to the book. This is a definite read for anyone looking for a well-written book that will take you on a fantastic adventure through Terra Australis.” – Sarah (Fan of series)
“Easily one of the best fantasy novels I've ever read. Descriptive and an edge-of-your-seat type of read. I cannot wait for more adventures from Thorik Dain!” – Amazon Customer
“Just keeps getting better. He is the type of author that doesn’t just write books, he creates worlds. In all of his books he seems to use his articulate imagination to illustrate how things look, smell, feel, and touch. This is comparable to the Lord of the Rings author, J.R.R. Tolkien. Wedgeworth seems to create languages, beasts, worlds, terrain, cities, cultures, and interactions on a world-wide scale. These interactions are what make his books so great. It was yet another thrilling adventure book by Wedgeworth. It was so good that I've read it twice and plan to pass it around to people I know. Wedgeworth never fails to captivate my attention and always will continue to do so.” – Amazon Customer
“This book is part sci-fi, paranormal, and fantasy. Thorik does not really have any special powers. The one power that he has that is strong is...intelligence. Sacrifice of Ericc continues the momentum of the first book. Thorik really emerges as a strong character. The other characters play nicely off of Thorik. Each new character introduced into the story, only added to the story.” – Cheryl Koch (Fan of the series)
“Wedgeworth's distinctive characters and vibrant locales continue to make Wedgeworth's Terra Australis, one of the most interesting and unique worlds in fantasy literature in this writer's opinion. However, it is also a rather short book, coming in just shy of 300 pages. While this writer found himself wishing for a longer book, it's rather short duration makes it an easy snow-day read for the less voracious reader.” - Lake Mills Graphic
“If you like well thought out fantasy that is not your normal elves, orcs and trolls, this is the book for you.” – Amazon Customer
“Going through the twists and turns of the people and places that Thorik leads you, is an exciting adventure. The unique characters come to life as Wedgeworth describes a unique world with bigger than life plots. Yet the heart and soul of each character is something each person who reads this book can understand.” – J. Wolff (Fan of the series)
