Strange Alliances

Liu's poetic and loquacious prose and often vivid descriptions really draw you in... The Wall of Storms is one of the fantasy books of 2016. Simply put it's not just a book that you read, it's a journey that you take and is highly recommended'

Liu is a writer at the top of his game... the drama and action is impressive, delivered in compelling prose and tight set-piece scenes. Even the philosophical discussions and scientific explorations that drive the twists in the plot skip along with an urgency. But Liu's real skill is in keeping the story rooted in the hearts and lives of real people, regardless of the overall scale of the work'

Shoreline of Infinity

Poetic metaphorical prose is widely and pleasingly used in this series
