"A complex, mold-breaking fantasy protagonist."--B&N Sci-Fi &
Fantasy Blog
"Alex Marshall builds a sprawling world that grows larger and
deeper with every page. Instantly believable. Zosia and her Five
Villains are as fun as they are twisted."--David Dalglish
"An epic fantasy that will surprise you. When was the last time you
read one of those? Marshall deftly sets up and subverts
expectations at every turn. If you think you know what's coming,
think again."--Kameron Hurley
"Brimming with imagination and invention... Fabulous!"--John
Gwynne
"Exceptional writing, middle-aged warrior heroine, and organically
infused gender nonconformity make this fantasy epic a first-rate
trailblazer... splendid storytelling, wry humor, and unresolved
intrigue."--Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
"Full of bloody battles, intimidating monsters and incredible
feats, fans of thoughtful storytelling, tough-as-nails heroines and
absorbing fantasy will love this novel."--RT Book Reviews
"Marshall's rich cast of characters .... are driven by passion,
duty and humanizing, terrifying flaws... A Crown for Cold Silver
drags epic fantasy through the mud - but it does so with wit,
wonder and wisdom."--NPR Books
"This brawny revenge fantasy feels like a Tarantino movie: a hugely
entertaining mix of adventure and comedy, punctuated by moments of
darkness, with clever dialogue and explosive set-pieces... A pure
joy to read."--Booklist (Starred Review)
"This is my favorite kind of fantasy -- alternatively irreverent
and brutal, with a cast of wonderfully scarred and nasty people.
Any fans of Steven Erikson, Mark Lawrence, or Joe Abercrombie will
love A Crown for Cold Silver; I've just finished it, and I'm
already eager for more."--Django Wexler
"This lusty debut will have you gasping in one breath and laughing
in the next with its cast of multicultural characters,
gender-bending soldiers, same-sex coupled kings and warrior women
of all ages who throw themselves into the fray. By the latter half
of the novel, you realize Marshall is playing a long, glorious
game."--Washington Post
"This sweeping adventure is a first from Marshall and delivers a
colorful cast. It sparkles with details that make a fantasy world
come alive: echoes of cultures jumbled together in new ways, drug
addicts who allow poisonous insects to sting them for a high, and
unusual gender roles and depictions."--Library Journal (Starred
Review)
