Praise for Elizabeth Bear
'Like the best of speculative fiction, Bear has created a fascinating and complete universe
that blends high-tech gadgetry with Old World adventure and political collusion' Publishers Weekly
'This is certainly the best science fiction novel I've read in 2019 so far and I look forward to see how Bear develops the characters and her impressively rich universe' (POPULAR SCIENCE)
'Elizabeth Bear is just as comfortable writing steampunk and fantasy as she is hard science fiction, and Ancestral Night, first half of a duology, brims with heady concepts and sleek far-future hardware. There is a mordant wit at work' (FINANCIAL TIMES)
'Awesome, awe-inspiring space opera. Fittingly, it shifts from weighty themes to lighter humour with dexterity, grace and crackling dialogue' (Daily Mail)
'Bear has constructed a fascinating, absorbing universe populated with compelling and intelligent characters who conform to neither clichés nor stereotypes. It's sci-fi of the top order' (popmatters.com)
Customer Reviews
It was ok
I am not normally disappointed but this book not up to the normal standard. It was too much lovey dovey when I was expecting sci-fi so not the story for me. As a man I was turned off by the storyline of a girl meets multi legged Alian and gets married. I found it hard to invest in this highly improbable scenario and felt sorry for the pirates who seemed to have the right idea and were way more interesting. No attempt was made to explore their world view
