There's no time like the present to lose oneself in the military and political struggles of the Vordanai Empire." --Fonda Lee on The Shadow Campaigns series Ship of Smoke and Steel is a brisk, gritty adventure starring a heroine with genuine agency and power, despite the overwhelming odds stacked against her. The world is sharp and unforgiving, the mysteries are deep, the action is harrowing and triumphant. --Scott Lynch, author of The Lies of Locke Lamora "A gripping, fast-paced fantasy enrapturing readers until the end... beautifully constructed with tantalizing details that evoke a variety of cultural influences. The characters are well-developed, and diversity--in ethnicity, ability, and sexuality--is abundant." --Kirkus Reviews on Ship of Smoke and Steel Wexler... has another engrossing winner on his hands. --Booklist on Ship of Smoke and Steel "Three cheers for a female protagonist who demonstrates strong leadership skills without losing the prospect of love or friendship." --Kirkus Reviews on The Fall of the Readers "Wexler is an exceptionally good writer, period." --Foz Meadows on The Shadow Throne
