In Legacy of the Eldric he has certainly achieved his aim; the characters are memorable and the plot is fast-paced and exciting. It is an opening chapter in a series that I look forward to reading the mid and end parts to. This is solid fantasy; exactly what a fantasy doctor would order for those looking for an enjoyable escape from reality, fans of Tolkien, Hobb and Moorcock will love what they find here. Definitely recommended. www.fantasybookreview.co.uk (8/10 stars)

Tumarl is an excellent addition to the already strong cast but the most outstanding moment of the book was the long and brutal battle of CarCamel. The author impressed here as he focused as much on the little man as the hero. The narrative cleverly switched between many characters as the battle waged on and we experience death and loss, bravery and cowardice through the eyes of many differing people. Dragon Rider moves the story along well and brings the story to a very interesting knife's edge. This novel will whet the appetite nicely for the conclusion in Shadow of the Demon. www.fantasybookreview.co.uk Book 2 (8/10 stars)

The trilogy is a highly enjoyable series of books to read. If you were looking for comparisons in style and substance then the late Professor Tolkien and the wonderful Robin Hobb would come close. The narrative is at is strongest when dealing with the past, the creation theory is first-rate, well conceived and genuinely moving, and the way in which Kaplyn experiences the past-life of his shaol (a kind of guardian spirit), Shastlyn, is delightfully well described. The parts where Kaplyn battles with his very real inner demon make for compelling reading as the noble and caring man struggles with violent, cruel and tyrannical compulsions. ). There are so many good ideas and clever plot lines that a little good housekeeping could produce a stunning novel like Raymond E. Feist's Magician. www.fantasybookreview.co.uk Book 3 (8/10 stars)

While the writing is good, and the battle scenes are excellent, the true highlight of these novels for me, were the characters. Each were distinct and interesting. While it did take me a bit of time to absorb their personalities, once I did, I deeply cared for the outcome of their lives. Kaplyn, whom was the main character, was very likable, and Vastra, a wizard with a secret, was compelling all the way through. There was also a decent amount of character development, which is something I always enjoy. For me, if the characters aren’t interesting, the writing will never truly grab me. tyrionfrost.wordpress.com (4/5 stars)

Legacy of the Eldric is book 1 in The Prophesy of the Kings trilogy. It offers all you would expect from a fantasy tale, with various lands and races, prophecies, creatures, demons and socery. For me, however, the strength of this book is in the writing, which is descriptive yet not over-done, plus the characters. Each of the main characters are well written, and individual - most are likeable, whereas Vastra has just the right amount of threat surrounding him. They all represent well their own races, with their own strengths and weaknesses. I would recommend for those who have an interest in entering the world of fantasy, and I look forward to reading the remainder of the trilogy. bcfreviews.wordpress.com

The Prophecy of the Kings trilogy is a fantastic epic. David Burrows creates a vibrant and compelling world which captivates his readers. The first book started a little slow but quickly grabs a hold of the reader. Burrows develops his characters well and by the end of the first book you feel compelled to keep reading to find out the outcome of the tribulations the characters must go through. The second and third books are equally engaging and the pace quickens with every page. I truly enjoyed this novel and would recommend to all fantasy fiction fans. (5 out of 5 stars) Cweller

I really enjoyed the story and found that the books were very easy to ready and very enjoyable. I felt that these characters all brought something to the story while still not making the story so complex that it was hard to follow. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys the fantasy genre of book. (4 out of 5 stars) Amber223

Sparked with a flare of Lord of the Ring, yet singed with its own unique vibe, The Prophecy of Kings takes you on a long, dangerous journey With Kaplyn, prince of Allund. While the writing is good, and the battle scenes are excellent, the true highlight of these novels for me, were the characters. Each were distinct and interesting. While it did take me a bit of time to absorb their personalities, once I did, I deeply cared for the outcome of their lives. Kaplyn, whom was the main character, was very likable, and Vastra, a wizard with a secret, was compelling all the way through. There was also a decent amount of character development, which is something I always enjoy. For me, if the characters aren't interesting, the writing will never truly grab me.

Mystical tale filled with fantastic action scenes, dragons, 3 princes, wizards, astral travelling, demons and tree spiders! Burrows has written an amazing epic fantasy that will have you glued to the pages. The author is a fan of LOTR and his trilogy is in a similar vein, yet is filled with original ideas that are unique to Burrows. This amazing trology is a must read for all fans of fantasy lands and epic battle scenes. KEHS (5/5 stars)
