Produktbeschreibung

PRAISE FOR THE 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 of The Sparrow "Stunning...If Oscar Wilde were writing high fantasy, he'd want to write The Fall of the Kings. " --Sarah Smith, author of A 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 of My 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 of Wicked and Lost " The Fall of the Kings is, if possible, even better [than Swordspoint ]--twistier and deeper." --Neil Gaiman, author of American Gods "Splendid....one of my favorite books this year!" --Charles de Lint, author of The Onion Girl "This is how fantasy should be written!...sweeps you in and lets you live the story with the characters." --Lynn Flewelling, author of The 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 of The 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
