“Birthrights is an ambitious, sprawling work of fantasy that does a good job of engaging its readers. Whether I was reading about Whym, a young man with a lot of potential and an unfortunate heritage; or Quint, another young man who ventures well outside the comforts of his religious upbringing after learning to question its veracity – I cared.”

– Ellen Putnam, The Charlotte Geeks

“J. Kyle McNeal managed to convince me, draw me in, entertain me, and glue me to the pages. The various plots were presented in a masterful way with enough surprises to keep you reading and wondering. Experienced readers will understand when I say it’s a book you can get comfortable with, and kind of get attached to.”
