Philip Mazza’a writing has been called “complex, masterly and satisfying, and at times lyrical.” Known for The Harrow Saga, an epic fantasy in the tradition of Tolkien, Mazza’s writing style is not only something to be admired for its intrinsic literary quality - it is significant because it gives a certain quality to his stories: it makes them believable.

“What makes Mazza’s work truly special, is the depth of his characters. Unlike many other fantasy stories, which focus primarily on action and adventure, Mazza takes the time to develop his characters' inner lives and motivations. This gives them a sense of realism that is often lacking in other works of fantasy. . . The wonderfully written and intensely moving tale is the work of an extraordinary imagination. It is a classic example of epic fantasy literature but with a twist . . . A whole world is created, perfectly real in itself, yet constituting a deep incidental comment on the human element . . ."
