“In The talented and The Betrayed, Matthew Dickerson’s masterful story-telling and ability for suspenseful narrative draw us into the conflict to avoid wasting Gondisle from the Daegmon Lord. Dickerson brings to the production of fable epic his prepared commentary of the wildlife. Gondisle’s woods, plains, mountains, and marshes look as actual as these of our global. Nature is a residing presence within the Daegmon struggle, and Dickerson follows within the footsteps of Tolkien and Lewis in making of delusion the paintings of re-enchanting the realm. This sequence satisfies our starvation for that means in addition to it satisfies our thirst for adventure.”
