“Kestrel’s Midnight Song is a solid addition to the fantasy genre. Jacob Parker writes an imaginative tale, filled with adventure, mystery, and unique characters. The storylines intertwine and keep the reader turning the pages, desperate to see how it will all work out. I can’t wait to read the sequel.” —Jill Williamson, award winning author of By Darkness Hid
“Because of his youth and the genre, people will no doubt compare J.R. Parker to Christopher Paolini. I don’t claim to be a prophet, but I think Parker very well could be better. Kestrel’s Midnight Song is a wonderful first novel. Parker’s language is quite stunning without being wordy. And his opening hook is terrific. Marauders, stolen children, haunting mystery, and ever-present danger make this a book worth reading.” —Wayne Thomas Batson, bestselling author of The Door Within Trilogy, Isle of Swords, Isle of Fire, and Curse of the Spider King
“Jacob Parker delivers mystery [and] suspense… in his debut novel Kestrel’s Midnight Song. The characters are fresh, the birds abound, and the fate of a land rests with a traveling shepherd boy. This is… fantasy at its best!” —Scott Appleton, author of Swords of the Six
