'I've been reading fantasy my whole life. After all these years, it's a delight to read something so different, so wonderful and strange.' - Patrick Rothfuss, author of The Name of the Wind
'A powerhouse epic of humans and gods at war, deeply imagined and profoundly thrilling. 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 gripping story that's one part mystery, one part a new history of the world, The Raven Tower is an incredible fantasy, told by one of the most unique voices I've had the privilege of reading.' - S. A. Chakraborty
'The Raven Tower is a unique, intricate fantasy set in a fascinating world of gods who are at once formidable and vulnerable. Original and powerful - I loved it. Highly recommended for fans of N. K. Jemisin or Guy Gavriel Kay.' - Django Wexler
