"It surpasses The Grace of Kings in every way, by every conceivable
metric, and is--astonishingly--perfectly readable as a
standalone."-- "NPR Books"
"The Grace of Kings is an ambitious, astonishing, and sublime work,
one that both exemplifies and diverges from what one might think of
when it comes to epic fantasy. It should rank amongst the genre's
best works."-- "io9"
"Ken Liu's The Grace of Kings [is] a magnificent fantasy epic. Liu
is building a dynasty."-- "NPR Books"
