Split Heirs is a rarity in its genre, and even rarer in its quality writing. The fast measure of the narrative and the colourful characters never give the reader a moment to put it down. Farcical as it might be there is something quite entertaining in it all. Perhaps it's the elaborate scenarios or the comic characterisations, but in any sense it is a highly recommended book for anyone who likes the fantasy genre, but would like to read something quirkier and fresher than the usual 'run of the mill' SF Fantasy novels out there.
