`An impressive, absorbing performance by one of fantasy's top writers’ Daily Mail
`Kay delivers an exquisitely detailed vision of a land much like Tang Dynasty China… the complex intrigues of poets, prostitutes, ministers and soldiers evolve into a fascinating, sometimes bloody, and entirely believable tale’ Publishers Weekly
`Part dynastic stuggle, part love story, part examination of duty versus personal freedom, UNDER HEAVEN boasts a complex plot replete with subterfuge and driven by well-drawn characters, Shen Tai himself being a particularly rich creation’ SFX Magazine

`A fine, intelligent seriesProbably the best of its kind’ British Fantasy Society
`A remarkable achievement. The essence of high fantasy’ Locus
