“Disintegration is a bit of a departure from Aona in subject matter, but Simon Williams's clear, lyrical prose remains. There aren't casual words strewn about in this collection, each line resonates with the kind of craftmanship necessary to achieve maximum effect. The stories themselves are sometimes dreamlike, but if you let yourself be lured into the hypnotic rhythm of the language, you'll find yourself moved by the result.”

“It's a rare modern fantasy series that manages to present both a rich, vivid world while also creating characters that are both relatable and likeable. Simon Williams accomplishes that and more with Oblivion's Forge. The sense of foreboding and impending drama permeates each page and keeps the reader wanting to know where the book will take us.”

“Beautiful and evocative narration, multifaceted characters and a complex storyline that demands the readers' attention... it is not your typical fantasy "good versus evil" kind of book. Dark, raw and brutal, there is no sugar coating or romanticism in Oblivion's Forge, but a harsh reality that for the fantasy genre is quite rare and refreshing.”

“Lyrical at times, often gritty, the prose is propulsive... the world is evoked with style and verve. Welcome Simon Williams to your bookshelf. You won't be disappointed.”

“Simon Williams has constructed a compelling and believably fantasy world in Oblivion's Forge. This novel manages to evoke the sense of wonderment that is achieved by Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings while also managing to create something entirely new.”
