Praise for The Angel of the Crows

"A new Katherine Addison book is a cause for celebration. Break out the champagne, this one's a treat!"

Ellen Klages, author of Passing Strange, winner of the British Fantasy Award and World Fantasy Award, on The Angel of the Crows

"Each book Addison writes is a highly-polished and gorgeously set gem. The Angel of Crows is no exception."

Fran Wilde, Nebula-winning, Hugo and World Fantasy Nominated author of Updraft and The Fire Opal Mechanism, on The Angel of the Crows

"With its subtle, intricate, fascinating worldbuilding and a hero who succeeds through empathy and patience rather than brawn, The Goblin Emperor is absolutely unique among recent fantasy novels, and it delighted me from beginning to end. I wish I could read a dozen more books set in the Elflands."

Katherine Arden, bestselling author of The Bear And The Nightingale, on The Goblin Emperor

"Challenging, invigorating, and unique. If courtly intrigue is your wine of choice, The Goblin Emperor is the headiest vintage I've come across in years."

Scott Lynch, bestselling author of The Lies of Locke Lamora, on The Goblin Emperor

"I enjoyed The Goblin Emperor a great deal. I was sucked right into her world of goblins, elves, and airships, and was anxious to the very end to find out how Maia, the unwanted halfblood son of the Emperor, who finds himself unexpectedly on the throne, learns to navigate the intrigues and danger of the imperial court. An engrossing read!"

Kristen Britain, New York Times bestselling author of Blackveil, on The Goblin Emperor

"Impressively elaborate worldbuilding underpins this lovely fantasy novel, but I couldn't put it down because of the heart-grippingly sympathetic main character."

Kate Elliott, bestselling author of the Crossroads series, on The Goblin Emperor

"... remarkably compelling and fascinating"

io9, on The Goblin Emperor

"The Goblin Emperor is the best fantasy I've read in quite some time. It's certainly my favourite of the last great while, and though it's early days yet, I suspect it may be the best single novel I read this year."

Liz Bourke, Tor.com, on The Goblin Emperor
