“This is the portal fantasy I’ve spent my whole life waiting
for.”
—Liz Bourke for Tor.com
“So this was basically all the things I’d enjoyed about portal
fantasies as a younger reader, with the dubious gifts the suck
fairy might have bestowed either questioned or removed.”
—Ann Leckie
“I very much enjoyed this. The main character falls out of our
world into a life-changing adventure, with compelling characters
and a fascinating world. I can’t wait to read the next
book.”
—Martha Wells, author of The Books of Raksura and The
Murderbot Diaries
“An Accident of Stars‘ interwoven, beautifully rendered cultures
are filled with rich details, complex family bonds of all
kinds, and deeply layered politics. To enter Kena and the
surrounding lands is to be irrevocably and powerfully
changed. Foz Meadows has created an epic adventure unlike any
I’ve read before.”
—Fran Wilde, Nebula- and Norton-nominated author of Updraft and
Cloudbound“A portal fantasy for grownups, with grit and
realism, and characters I loved from the first page.”
—Trudi Canavan, author of the Black Magician trilogy“Fantasy
readers who appreciate strong characters and excellent
worldbuilding will immerse themselves in this tale.”
—Publishers Weekly, starred review"It’s quite lovely... The main
strength of this is its cast, which walks off the page – there’s
characters of all ages, all walks of life and all sexual
orientations–and its gut punch ending."
—Aliette de Bodard, , Nebula Award-winning author of The House
of Shattered Wings“Reminiscent of Ursula K LeGuin, An Accident of
Stars will take you to a lush, magical new world.”
—Laura Lam, bestselling author“An Accident of Stars is anchored in
dozens of complex women, driven by the rooted, deep relationships
they have with each other. It’s a wonderful, rich, feminist book,
and I loved it.”
—B R Sanders, author of Ariah“This fabulous story bowled
me over with a compelling blend of intimacy, danger, twisty
politics, believably imperfect characters, and a fascinatingly
complex universe.”
—Kate Elliott, author of Black Wolves and Cold Magic“Richly
imaginative world building with delightfully complex and diverse
characters; a joy to read!”
—Ann Lemay, videogame writer“The sophistication, thematic ambition
and range of viewpoint characters make this a mature work of
fantasy.”
—BFSA
