Laurie J. Marks: Laurie J. Marks's Elemental Logic novels (Fire
Logic, Earth Logic, and Water Logic) received multiple starred
reviews and the first two both won the Gaylactic Spectrum Award.
Marks final Elemental Logic novel, Air Logic, is forthcoming. She
lives in Worcester, Massachusetts, and teaches at the University of
Massachusetts.
“With this follow-up to Fire Logic, Marks produces another stunner
of a book. The powerful but subtle writing glows with intelligence,
and the passionate, fierce, articulate, strong, and vital
characters are among the most memorable in contemporary fantasy,
though not for the faint of heart. Definitely for the thinking
reader.”
— Booklist (starred review) “The sequel to Fire Logic continues the
tale of a woman born to magic and destined to rule. Vivid
descriptions and a well-thought-out system of magic.”
— Library Journal “Twenty years after the invading Sainnites won
the Battle of Lilterwess, the struggle for the world of Shaftal is
far from finished in Marks’s stirring, intricately detailed sequel
to Fire Logic. . . . Full of love and humor as well as war and
intrigue, this well-crafted epic fantasy will delight existing fans
as surely as it will win new ones.”
— Publishers Weekly “Rich and affecting. . . . A thought-provoking
and sometimes heartbreaking political novel.”
— BookPage “Intelligent, splendidly visualized, and beautifully
written. Laurie Marks’s use of language is really tremendous.”
— Paula Volsky “A dense and layered book filled with complex people
facing impossible choices. Crammed with unconventional families,
conflicted soldiers, amnesiac storytellers, and practical gods, the
story also finds time for magical myths of origin and moments of
warm, quiet humor. Against a bitter backdrop of war and winter,
Marks offers hope in the form of various triumphs: of fellowship
over chaos, the future over the past, and love over death.”
— Sharon Shinn “A powerful and hopeful story where the peacemakers
are as heroic as the warriors; where there is magic in good food
and flower bulbs; and where the most powerful weapon of all is a
printing press.”
— Naomi Kritzer “Earth Logic is not a book of large battles and
heart-stopping chases; rather, it’s more gradual and contemplative
and inexorable, like the earth bloods who people it. It’s a novel
of the everyday folk who are often ignored in fantasy novels, the
farmers and cooks and healers. In this novel, the everyday lives
side by side with the extraordinary, and sometimes within it; Karis
herself embodies the power of ordinary, mundane methods to change
the world.”
— SF Revu “It is an ambitious thing to do, in this time of enemies
and hatreds, to suggest that a conflict can be resolved by
peaceable means. Laurie Marks believes that it can be done, and she
relies relatively little on magic to make it work.”
— Cheryl Morgan, Emerald City Fire Logic and Earth Logic both
received the Gaylactic Spectrum Award.
