“Full of action, and lots of characters ....   Four stars.  Really Good Stuff”

Mrs Mad’s Book-a-Rama
"It is wonderful to get to the last book in a series and watch as all the strands come together. Mark Robson has not let us down, he has produced a fast paced finale to the Darkweaver quartet. This has been a really brilliant series to read and I would recommend it to anyone who likes fantasy, but would like a bit more oomph with their story. As always the descriptions make this story have an almost historical feel to it, as if this was our past you are reading about. Wonderful stuff, well worth reading. I think there might be more books from this realm, in the future too! 9/10"

Author Trek
"The Chosen One is the last volume in The Darkweaver Legacy, the very compelling series of books written by Mark Robson.  One only has to look a the very simple map of this world at the beginning of each book to discern how skillfully Mark Robson has plotted his narrative.  There is nothing to offend the reader here, but there is everything to excite them.  Yet again, Mark Robson has set the tone exactly right, and these are indeed 'easy reading' stories suitable for all ages.  10/10."

Reading Matters
"Here is the action-packed climax to the story of Calvyn and how he fulfils the predictions of the Oracles of Drehboor...  This is an enjoyable series of books, full of drama and camaraderie, giving an insight into the working mind and unflinching loyalty of the soldier."
