" The Raven Tower is an enormously compelling novel.
Much like Hamlet, from which The Raven Tower draws clear inspiration, Leckie's is a story filled with complicated, very human people, as well as the forces that move around them, guiding them ever so slightly toward choices both good and bad."- B&N SciFi & Fantasy Blog "Award-winner Leckie proves as adept at worldbuilding as ever-the setting and characters of The Raven Tower are as rich as any we encountered in Imperial Radch space-but it is the mode of narration that truly distinguishes her first novel-length foray into fantasy. The Raven Tower spins out its mysteries before gleefully setting fire to them in the last few pages."- NPR "Leckie has a gift for using language both as worldbuilding and as plot device.
"Sharp, many layered, and, as always for Leckie, deeply intelligent."- Kirkus (starred review) examination of power, politics and governance is fascinating and well-conceived."- St. "Leckie has an ear for language, an eye for character and a gift for creating new worlds and cultures. The god's voice is mesmerizing, tender and careful.feels closer to the register of folk tale than epic, and is all the more riveting for that."- New York Times Book Review This impressive piece of craftsmanship cements Leckie's place as a powerful voice in both SF and fantasy."- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Leckie's tale takes on a mythic, metafictional quality.and the story's elements weave into a stunning conclusion. There are echoes of Shakespeare and Le Guin in The Raven Tower, but its strange dark brilliance could only have come from Ann Leckie."- Lev Grossman "A powerhouse epic of humans and gods at war, deeply imagined and profoundly thrilling. After all these years, it's a delight to read something so different, so wonderful and strange."- Patrick Rothfuss "I've been reading fantasy my whole life.
