• "...Kingmaker definitely scratches my itch for bigger, more bombastic projects that feel populated and lively." - Podcake Reviews
• "I love the political complexity this story presents to the listener, which meshes so nicely with its fantastical worldbuilding. If Kingmaker is steampunk, it elevates the whole genre. It's beautiful." - Hannah Wright - Executive producer of Re: Dracula
