Critics Review
Praise for City of Bones
“A bravura performance, to which no summary can do justice: compellingly plotted, stunningly original in concept, and glowing with utterly convincing detail.” –Kirkus Reviews
“City of Bones combines Middle Eastern legends with a taut tale of technomagic and sorcery. The result is a vibrant blend of adventure and intrigue.” –Library Journal
“Wells’s…novel is a delight: an SF adventure with complex characters, archeological puzzles, a dash of mental magic, and a lot of fast-paced action.” –Publishers Weekly
Praise for Martha Wells’ Murderbot Diaries:
“I love Murderbot!” –Ann Leckie
“The most heartwarming action-packed literally explosive space opera I’ve enjoyed in a long time. Martha Wells is the best writer of loveable snarky gender-subversive killing machines out there!” –N. K. Jemisin
“We are all a little bit Murderbot.”–NPR
