Smiler's Fair by Rebecca Levene
SMILER'S FAIR - Book I of The Hollow Gods, the spectacular new epic fantasy series by Rebecca Levene.
I owe Rebecca Levene my careerShe's always been a creative powerhouse, and I'm excited by what she's going to do as a writer of epic fantasy. She should be on everyone's radar as one of the great new writers of the genre. -- Paul Cornell, author of London Falling
All I know is that Rebecca Levene has written the most stunning first volume epic fantasy since Game of Thrones. It's a little bit grimdark, a little bit epic, and a whole lot of incredible. If George R.R. Martin wrote The Night Circus, Smiler's Fair would be the result. Go. Buy. It. * Staffer's Book Review *
Smiler's Fair is the epic fantasy I've been waiting for - riveting, compelling and adventurous. * Pornokitsch *
Fans of either Abraham or Abercrombie-fans of fantasy full stop, in fact-will find lots to like in Smiler's Fair. Its setting, its narrative, its characters-unlikeable as they are-all impress immensely, developed as they are with depth and discerning detail. In truth, the only complaint I'd make about the book is that there isn't more of it. * Tor.com *
We can judge other-world fantasy by the extent we want to return to it - and I can't wait to book my ticket back to the next episode of this outstanding, multi-stranded debut. * Daily Mail *
Little by little, as the narrative twists and turns, Levene reveals the depth and complexity of her created world and leaves the reader eager for the next instalment. * Guardian *
This book is a perfect blend of epic and 'gritty' fantasy, combining the best aspects of the two genres. * Mithril Wisdom *
The first volume of The Hollow Gods is consistently surprising, packing in plenty of character development, fast and brutal action. * SFX *
