Editorial Reviews
Review
"One of the strongest epic fantasies I've read in a long time. My perfect epic fantasy novel looks a great deal like John R. Fultz's debut, Seven Princes" ―Rob Will Review
"What Seven Princes [offers] is breakneck pacing and nonstop insanity..... It's epic with a capital EPIC."―io9.com on Seven Princes
"A stand-out fantasy series from an author with an exceptional talent for characterization and world building."―Library Journal (Starred Review) on Seven Princes
"Tarantino and Tolkien have a literary love child and his name is John R. Fultz. A multi-layered world, beautiful description, break-neck action and appropriate brutality; it's wonderful stuff."―thebookbag.co.uk on Seven Kings

About the author

My name is John R. Fultz, and I’m a storyteller.
My latest book is a collection of dark fantasy tales called WORLDS BEYOND WORLDS (from DMR Books). The Shaper Trilogy includes the novels SEVEN PRINCES, SEVEN KINGS, and SEVEN SORCERERS (from Orbit/Hachette). My Tall Eagle duology includes the novels THE TESTAMENT OF TALL EAGLE and SON OF TALL EAGLE (from Crossroad Press). THE REVELATIONS OF ZANG collects 12 dark fantasy tales set in the magical World of Zang (currently out of print).
I live in the North Bay Area, California, but I’m originally from Kentucky. My short fiction has appeared in anthologies such as YEAR’S BEST WEIRD FICTION, SHATTERED SHIELDS, THE WAY OF THE WIZARD, CTHULHU’S REIGN, THE BOOK OF CTHULHU II, THAT IS NOT DEAD, and NEW TALES OF HYPERBOREA. I’ve also had stories in these fine magazines: WEIRDBOOK, BLACK GATE, WEIRD TALES, LIGHTSPEED, THE AUDIENT VOID, and SPACE & TIME. I’ve written comics for Boom Studios’ ZOMBIE TALES and CTHULHU TALES. My graphic novel of epic fantasy PRIMORDIA (illustrated by the great Roel Wielinga) was published by Archaia Comics in an ultimate hardcover edition in 2012.

Seven Princes was an entertaining read that also had a lot of action and horror but it didn't really stand out above the rest so I rated it as an average read. Seven Kings however expanded on the universe and made the lore and characters a whole lot more three dimensional. You just cared about them more this time.
Seven Kings is not for the squeamish or anyone who can't stand a bit of primordial horror and gore with their fantasy. As with Princes no one is safe in Kings either and the cast has a lot more blood and carnage in store for them than beauty and magic.
While Seven Kings does not have the depth that The Demon Cycle or The King Killer Chronicles offers neither does it have 50 page lulls in the middle of the story that weigh down the adventure.
Seven Princes could have been read as a stand alone novel with no major qualms. Seven Kings was heading that way as well since they wrap up the majority of the plot nicely but the last 75 pages or so build up to the next book (I believe the last) in the series Seven Sorcerers. I for one can not wait.
My one qualm would be I did not like the cover. It was too Dark and you can't make out any of the cast. I'm hoping the next ones better.
