Critics Review

Stand aside, Beowolf … James has spun an African fantasy as vibrant, complex and haunting as any Western mythology * Washington Post *I cannot wait for the next instalment * Spectator *Marlon James possesses almost frightening levels of talent … An archetypal epic for the 21st century * Forbes *A fantasy world as well-realized as anything Tolkien made, with language as powerful as Angela Carter’s. It’s as deep and crafty as Gene Wolfe, bloodier than Robert E. Howard, and all Marlon James… I cannot wait for the next instalment
