Praise for the Crown of Stars series: "In the Jaran series, Elliott
proved herself good at setting up conflict on a grand scale....
Here she creates a complex fantasy world with intriguing parallels
to European history, colorful characters, and plenty of action and
magic." --Locus
"The saga's world is extremely well built, its pacing is brisk
enough to keep the pages fluttering.... This certainly could become
one of the best multivolume fantasies--fans, take note!" --Booklist
"Elliott has a gift for creating grim, dark settings as well as
swashbuckling action scenes (both magical and material) worthy of
Rafael Sabatini. This is a splendid piece of intelligent
entertainment." --Publishers Weekly "A solidly engrossing addition
to a worthwhile series." --Kirkus "Kate Elliott, an excellent
fantasist, writes lush and lyrical scenes and uses her characters
to scale down cosmic events to a human scale." --Midwest Book
Review
"Ms. Elliott continues to weave an elegantly intricate tapestry of
full-bodied characters who will fascinate and intrigue readers up
to the very last page."--Romantic Times Magazine (now RT Reviews)
"Strong plotting, thorough world building and sound
characterization and character development make this novel a
must-purchase for those collections that have invested in the rest
of the series."--VOYA "Elliott has created a world with depth and
color and peopled it with a large cast of characters, all poised on
the brink of a cataclysmic conclusion."--SF Chronicle "This is a
very good climax to a very long series.... The writing is clear and
excellent, the universe is interesting, the politics and warfare
believable."--SFRevu "Elliott has developed as real a fantasy realm
as any writer working in the genre, and the very complexity of the
story contributes to its verisimilitude."--Chronicle
