Reception
Review of The Crimson Campaign were generally favorable. Publishers Weekly referred to the book as a "swirling sequel"[4] and Staffer’s Book Review stated it was "just great fun."[5] Kirkus Reviews gave a more reserved appraisal stating the "book is less relentlessly inventive than the inaugural volume but still impressively distinctive and pungent…".[6]
Richard Bray, of Fantasy-Faction website, wrote in his review, "In all, The Crimson Campaign is the rare middle book of a trilogy that actually kicks its pace up a notch. It's an amazing work, and has the series well-situated for an outstanding finale in The Autumn Republic due out next year.[7]
