Editorial Reviews
“Bear launches a trilogy in a fantastic new world with this compelling tale…Bear creates a vivid world where wizards must sacrifice their ability to procreate in order to control magic and the sky changes to reflect the gods of the land’s rulers. The strong setting and engaging characters will have readers eager for the second installment.”
—Publishers Weekly
“This lean, sinewy, visceral narrative, set forth in extraordinarily vivid prose full of telling detail, conveys a remarkable sense of time and place, where the characters belong to the landscape and whose personalities derive naturally from it. Though the book is not self-contained, Bear provides this opener with enough of a resolution to satisfy while whetting the appetite for more. Gripping, perfectly balanced, and highly recommended.”
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“The first novel in the Eternal Sky series is so very interesting—the worldbuilding is subtle but thorough, Temur and Samarkar are wonderful characters (as are the other point-of-view characters) and the writing is crisp and clear while still managing to convey lots of meaning and subtext. Bear has a delicate touch with all the different cultures represented: It is clear that they differ in some pretty fundamental ways, which serves to illuminate and enrich the story.”
—Romantic Times
