Product Information
THIS IS THE WAY THE WORLD ENDS . . . FOR THE LAST TIME. IT STARTS WITH THE GREAT RED RIFT across the heart of the world's sole continent, spewing ash that blots out the sun. IT STARTS WITH DEATH, with a murdered son and a missing daughter. IT STARTS WITH BETRAYAL, and long dormant wounds rising up to fester. This is the Stillness, a land long familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy.Product Identifiers

Eurovision!
I believe the Hugo Awards have gone off a little of late. Now more of a Eurovision contest experience, where political voting is king. This book won a Hugo. It contains the author's political and social views through a fantasy lens, which she is of course free to do. Me, I prefer me sandworms. Good old fashioned Shai-Hulud or Sister Odrade.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

One of the most original fantasies I've ever had the pleasure of reading
Since there is only one other review, I'll share my thoughts. Are you tired of the same "young-farmhand-seeking-adventure" or "army-slaughters-other-army" fantasy novels? Are you bored of seeing the same pseudo-European landscapes appearing again and again? Are you yearning for a meaty world of magic, with rich world-building and strong writing? Then look no further. We meet three characters in this world, and the story tells their stories intermixed. All of them have to fight, and fight hard, to survive. It's a harsh world - a world where magic and mineral are intertwined, people are never quite what they seem, and something insidious seems to lurk just below the surface... It's not a simple read, but it's a rewarding one, and I immediately bought books two and three so that I know what happens next. Read it. If nothing else, it's very different from whatever else you'll read this year.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Very different approach. Keeps your interest
It's just different to what I have read before. A leaning towards physical influences rather than astral. Compelling.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
