PRAISE for GREG KEYES

THE REIGN OF THE DEPARTED

“Keyes is a master of world building and of quirky characters who grow into their relationships in unexpected ways. Fans of his Age of Unreason and his Kingdoms of Thorn and Bone fantasy series will want to get in on the ground floor of the High and Faraway series.”—Booklist

“I liked a lot of what Keyes was doing in the novel, in terms of the story itself, the characters, and laying the groundwork for a multi-book narrative. The world where Errol awakens in his new body has a lived-in feel, a world with history and mythology of its own. . . . the story reminded me of Kate Elliott’s Crown of Stars.”—SFFWorld

“Starts in the realm of normalcy and quickly descends into the favorably bizarre and surprising . . . there was not one character that was uninteresting. The world building is epic. A magical realm that mirrors earth while residing under a curse was not only inventive but enthralling.”—Koeur’s Book Reviews, 4.4/5 Stars

THE BRIAR KING

“A wonderful tale . . . It crackles with suspense and excitement from start to finish.”—Terry Brooks

“The characters in The Briar King absolutely brim with life . . . Keyes hooked me from the first page and I’ll now be eagerly anticipating sitting down with each future volume of The Kingdoms of Thorn and Bone series.”—Charles de Lint

“A thrill ride to the end, with plenty of treachery, revelation, and even a few bombshell surprises.”—Monroe News-Star (LA)

THE AGE OF UNREASON

“Features the classic elements of science fiction: high-tech gadgetry, world-threatening superpower conflict, a quest to save the world, and a teen hero who’s smarter than most of the adults . . . Powerful.”—USA Today

“Seems likely to establish Keyes as one of the more significant and original new fantasy writers to appear in recent years.”—Science Fiction Chronicle
