“A winning fantasy, this satirical, rollicking adventure . . . keeps a light, amused and snappy tone, with allusions to popular culture (“The Duke of Yorker” magazine, for instance), fun with names and an especially effective satire of Hollywood talent packaging. A satisfying and involved climax renders a fairy tale ending with an upward lilt, leaving the reader ready for new adventures.”
–Publishers Weekly for the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award
“Laugh-out-loud funny. A send-up of scores of fantasy novels of time past. I’d certainly recommend it.”
-Glen Cook
“If Conan the Barbarian met Entourage, you’d get Stuff of Legends. A pleasure to read.”

“If you like the early work of Pratchett, stories by Esther Friesner, or the Goblin books by Jim C. Hines, then Stuff of Legends is a work to add to your shelves. I, for one, am looking forward to more stories from Gibson’s pen.”
