Critics Review

“An evocative examination into revenge, redemption, and colonialism, Way of the Walker has it all: stunning prose, an expansive world, and lots of found family feels. With an ending that is as tender as it is tragic, this complex and considered fantasy is one to watch.”
– Keshe Chow, Sunday Times bestselling author of For No Mortal Creature

“Old magic and ancient gods infuse this enthralling story of resistance, liberation, and the courage it takes to walk an unorthodox path. The rich characters, immersive world, and timely themes make for an exciting and rewarding read.”
– Khan Wong, author of Down in the Sea of Angels

Way of the Walker is a dream of hope and change, of mysticism and spirituality, of redemption and salvation explored through the conflict of morality and ethics. It is a story of forging one’s own path and daring to stray from the one set by others while embracing fate and confronting sacrifice. Goldenberg peels back the curtains to show us just how legends are made.”
– Ai Jiang, author of A Palace Near the Wind

“This novel doesn’t just return us to the magical world of Suyoram: it cranks up the stakes to an epic crescendo, as our heroine Ree embarks on a quest not to save herself, but to rid her land of European colonialism. The horrors, the betrayals and the sexual chaos of the first book are multiplied to the nth degree, plunging readers into grimdark depths reminiscent of R.F. Kuang’s The Poppy War... yet light and hope are never lost, and the agony is always tempered with the redemptive solace of Buddhist spirituality.”
– Ng Yi-Sheng, author of Utama and A Spicepunk Manifesto

Way of the Walker is a richly written blend of fantasy, a touch of horror, and adventure that will hook readers from beginning to end.”
– V Castro, author of Immortal Pleasures
