Praise for 'Dusklight Falling'

“Dusklight Falling is a thrilling fantasy story full of horrific beasts, and honourable heroes. It's clear that the author has a deep love and appreciation of the genre, and has built a world worthy of readers to adventure in.”
Steven "Bajo" O'Donnell
“Dusklight Falling, Patch Kolan’s assured literary debut, is a pulpy delight, brimming with striking imagery, engaging characters and spectacular set pieces. It immerses you completely like a detail rich RPG but with a surprisingly robust sense of emotional connection and pathos. Frankly, it’s a little bit obnoxious that any first time author’s novel is this good but there you have it.”
Anthony O’Connor
Straya, Emma After
“A strong debut from a bold new voice in Australian fantasy.”
