HAPPY PUBLICATION TO ALEX PHEBY AND WATERBLACK

GUARDIAN FICTION PICK

Pheby at his most imaginative and peculiar best. Bursting with energy, the tension between the rational and irrational comes to a climactic, pyrotechnic, cinematic head. A magnificent and intellectual delight brimming with outlandish notions. He’s made me laugh, gasp, and hold back tears. What more could I want?” —Ian Mond, Locus Magazine

“Pheby’s phenomenal command of narrative crafts not just a phenomenal book, but a phenomenal ending to his titanic, grotesque, epic trilogy… It’s exactly how The Weft Cycle should end: tangled, messy, grotesque, bizarre, and bittersweet.” —Sam Reader, Ancillary Review of Books

“A monstrous achievement, as beautiful as it is disgusting, as funny as it is heartbreakingWaterblack solidifies The Cities of the Weft as one of my favorite fantasy series of all time.” —Hiron Ennes
