The Raven Tower by Ann Leckie

January 27, 2021 by TylerDFC Leave a Comment

The Raven Tower, Ann Leckie’s first fantasy novel, uses the framework of Shakespeare’s Hamlet to create an enthralling new tale. A king is dead, an uncle has usurped a throne, and a prince is going mad with the injustice. If you squint you can see Ophelia, and Rosencranz & Guildenstern, and Horatio among the other expected players. Yet, there is more going on in the kingdom of Iraden than a simple coup. The mystery starts from the first sentence directed at “you”. The entire book […]

I don’t think Ann Leckie has it in her to write a book that isn’t weird as hell.

The Raven Tower by Ann Leckie

April 11, 2019 by narfna 4 Comments

I had absolutely no idea what to expect from this book. I’d read the summary when it was first announced, but that did nothing for me except make me go, ‘huh?’ But, when an author writes four good books in a row (and some of those I would actually consider “great”), you lend them a little trust and just go with whatever they publish, until it bites you. Leckie’s books have yet to bite me, no matter how weird or outside the box she gets […]
