"This epic fantasy takes readers on a sometimes brutal, often enthralling journey."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A brisk and engaging narrative."--Booklist "The pages turn almost by themselves, because you absolutely, categorically have to find out what happens next."--Kirkus "One can read the Imager stories as straight fantasy, or as the closest of social commentaries ... without ever degenerating into mere "message" fiction. . . . [T]hey are artful, loving, and lovely configurations of the human experience during transitions one every sort."--The Nameless Zine "An epic fantasy that has all the complexity and depth of Dune."--Nerd Alert News "A beautifully written and gripping read."--The American Conservative "Engaging."--Multiverse "A must-read for any fantasy fan, brilliant and fabulous! One of the greatest talents writing today, Kevin J. Anderson is a master of adventures that are filled with dynamic, unforgettable characters." --Sherrilyn Kenyon "A fast-paced, enjoyable read. Concise description is paired with immediate action that plunges the reader irrevocably into a world teetering on the brink of a conflagration." --Robin Hobb "A setting so rich and detailed that the reader will suspend disbelief and actually be there." --R.A. Salvatore Just what fantasy readers lust after--a complex and intricately detailed universe descending into a war. The details of this exotic world are exquisite. The sprawling cast of characters and creatures is fascinating. The action is terrifying. Let the mayhem begin." --Terry Goodkind "A hell of a kick-off to a new series."--The NerdBlitz
