Reviews of The Third Sign

‟ Wilson's fantasy debut recalls the complexity of classic epic fantasy in the tradition of Robert Jordan. Combining adventure with mystery and memorable characters, this is a good choice for committed fantasy fans. „

‟ In The Third Sign, Gregory Wilson pulls off the single most difficult feat of magic in an epic fantasy: he makes it real...A very satisfying tale from an intriguing new voice. „

‟ If anything...the quality of the book is so good I maybe expected it to be perfect. The fact remains, this is Mr. Wilson’s first foray into the fantasy genre and if this book is any indication, he is in line for a long successful career...I am eagerly looking forward to [his] next novel. Four out of five stars. „

‟ Within the first few chapters [I] was immersed in the vivid fantasy world which Gregory Wilson has created...He manages to create a sense of underlying danger that simmers away, making you nervous for the characters involved...[all] learning to cope with their own forms of loss and new responsibilities...There is never a dull moment... The Third Sign is an enjoyable and gripping read. I eagerly await the next installment. „

‟ This fantasy epic is filled with political intrigue, tests of loyalty and strength, fearsome battles, as well as moments of kindness, familial love and friendship between both men and other creatures...Once the action begins it moves at a fast and furious pace...a terrific job. „

‟ Balance is the watchword for this story. All of the elements that drive this tale are so well balanced it is amazing. You have just the right dose of everything to keep the story moving right along, without any aspect overwhelming another. I honestly cannot bring to mind another book that accomplishes this so well... Engaging, easy to get into and simply a good read. „

‟ Wilson has created a compelling story,...and I have to admit that I formed a soft spot for Calen, the boy forced to grow up way too soon in the midst of the chaos of war. I found Calen's father, Larin Gollnet, to be quite philosophical in his dealings with the world — retreating to his writings and his books instead of dealing with the practical matters plaguing his family during poor economic times. But his mantra sticks with me: "Clarity of thought will lead to clarity of purpose; clarity of purpose will lead to clarity of result." Even in our own world, these can be words to live by...I think Wilson's results speak for themselves. The Third Sign is a great first effort in the epic fantasy genre, and I look forward to seeing what the next book in the series holds. „
