Reviews
PRAISE FORTHE FALL OF THE KINGS: "Immensely appealing, intelligent, and great fun." --Kirkus Reviews "The authors tap into fantasy's genuine source of drama, its ability to haunt, appall, transform." -- Locus "Embraces the age-old struggle between scholars and mystics...to bridge the gulf that separates history from mystery." --Fantasy & Science Fiction "One of the bawdiest and most intellectually stimulating novels of the year!" --BookPage "Richly textured...authentic...A fantasy novel that won't insult your intelligence." --Science Fiction Chronicle "Gorgeous prose and a galloping story, with...a deep understanding of a true scholar's passion for his subject." --Mary Doria Russell, author ofThe Sparrow "Stunning...If Oscar Wilde were writing high fantasy, he'd want to writeThe Fall of the Kings." --Sarah Smith, author ofA Citizen of the Country "Attractive characters, realistically enmeshed in social, political, and personal concerns... realized with a robust depth and realism." --Suzy McKee Charnas, author ofMy Father's Ghost "Kushner and Sherman don't spin fables or knit fancies: they are world-forgers, working in a language of iron and air." --Gregory Maguire, author ofWicked and Lost "The Fall of the Kingsis, if possible, even better [thanSwordspoint]--twistier and deeper." --Neil Gaiman, author ofAmerican Gods "Splendid....one of my favorite books this year!" --Charles de Lint, author ofThe Onion Girl "This is how fantasy should be written!...sweeps you in and lets you live the story with the characters." --Lynn Flewelling, author ofThe Bone Doll's Twin "A delicious read . . . dark, sexy, and wickedly funny by turns. I loved it. You'll love it too." --Terri Windling, editor ofThe Year's Best Fantasy and Horror "Ellen Kushner writes like an angel...pellucid, poetically structured prose [and] a gathering sense of tragic reality." --Algis Budrys

    This book arrived very very well wrapped; it is obvious to me that the seller loves books and wants them protected. The book was in great condition, just as advertised, and the price was quite fair. I am happy with this purchase and will buy from this seller again.
