""The Waters Rising, " stands as a thoughtful allegory for
environmentalism."--Iron Mountain Daily News
"Full of fascinating characters and beautifully detailed settings .
. . complex and multifaceted . . . As always, Locus Award-winner
Tepper wields grand science fiction themes with skill, vision and a
twist of black humor."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Tepper balances pointed criticisms of our era with a calamity that
appears to owe far more to Genesis than to science...the writing is
slick and crafeully crafted, Xulai has plenty of pluck, and her
companions possess a nearly ideal mixture of virtues, flaws, and
enthusiasm for redemptive sacrifice."--Publishers Weekly
"Tepper has developed a dependable following with works that have
an epic fantasy feel but that ultimately reveal logically
consistent scientific trappings. This work is no exception, a
successful blend of dying-earth fantasy and wicked-witch
fable."--Booklist
"Tepper holds up a funhouse glass to customs and mores many of us
take for granted. . . . She provides a good story, with sympathetic
characters and plenty to think about."--Denver Post
"The Waters Rising" delivers a strong, complex story that poses
tough questions and demands a new look at the possibilities of the
future."--Wichita Eagle
"This lyrical, beautifully written novel transcends the sum of its
parts to become a parable of survival and hope in hopeless
times."--The Guardian
