Review

Praise for Steven Erikson and The God Is Not Willing“Erikson burnishes his reputation as a superior epic fantasy world-builder… Erikson’s outstanding descriptive skills … enhance a complicated narrative that sweats the details. This is a treat both for Erikson’s returning readers and lovers of George R.R. Martin–style epic fantasy who have yet to discover his work.” ― Publishers Weekly Starred Review“A master of lost and forgotten epochs, a weaver of ancient epics.” ― Salon.com“This masterwork of the imagination may be the high watermark of epic fantasy.” ― Glenn Cook, bestselling author of The Black Company“Awe-inspiring. Prepare to fall in love with epic fantasy all over again.”―Anna Smith Spark, author of The Court of Broken Knives“The kind of epic narrative that will have you scrambling for more.”―Stephen R. Donaldson, author of The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant“Gripping, fast-moving, delightfully dark, with a masterful and unapologetic brutality reminiscent of George R. R. Martin… Utterly engrossing.” ―Elizabeth Haydon, bestselling author of The Symphony of Ages“A multilayered tale of magic and war, loyalty and betrayal. Complexly drawn characters occupy a richly detailed world in this panoramic saga.” ―Library Journal“Erikson has no peer when it comes to action and imagination, and joins the ranks of Tolkien and Donaldson in his mythic vision and perhaps then goes one better.” ―SF Site
