"Wake of Vultures doesn't just fly -- it soars. Lila Bowen brings
in a wild fantasy quite unlike anything I've ever read, with a
voice that's weird and wonderful. Bowen is truly a talent to watch.
Hot damn, is this book good."--Chuck Wendig on Wake of Vultures
"Conspiracy of Ravens isa heavy-gauge follow-up to Wake of
Vultures' wicked opening salvo, serving up huge helpings of humor
and tension and making another strong bid for the year's best
list."--B&N.com on Conspiracy of Ravens
"Wake of Vultures is a ferocious, fascinating take on the magical
Old West - creatively and unsentimentally grim, yet rich with hope
and heart."--Cherie Priest on Wake of Vultures
"Wake of Vultures is, quite simply, brilliant. A mind-bending mix
of history, fantasy and folklore, it's a wild bronco of a read
that'll leave you breathless for more."--Rachel Caine on Wake of
Vultures
"Bowen has created a fascinating, textured Wild West
world...Readers will love this absorbing fantasy adventure [and]
its strong, dynamic heroine."--Kirkus (starred review) on Wake of
Vultures
"Bowen's Wake of Vultures overflows with imagination and voice,
channeling shades of Stephen King's Gunslinger and Western classics
like Unforgiven. Nettie Lonesome is sure to become one of the
iconic characters of this generation. This book puts you under its
spell and will not let you go!"--Jason M. Hough, New York Times
bestselling author on Wake of Vultures
"Bowen's writing is as sharp and superior as ever - her examination
of Rhett's growing and complex sexuality and gender identity is
wondrous, and is a topic that is truly not being explored anywhere
else."--RT Book Reviews on Conspiracy of Ravens
"Gritty and well-realized... The unforgiving western landscape is
home to supernatural beasties as diverse as the human inhabitants,
and no-nonsense Nettie is pragmatic and brave. Themes of
self-worth, gender, and the complexity of identity are treated with
frank realism and sensitivity, and the narrative is a love letter
to the paranormal western genre."--Publishers Weekly (starred
review) on Wake of Vultures
"I don't care what else you've seen in the bookstore today. Buy
this book because it's the thrilling, delightfully written, and
important one you've always wanted to read."--Kevin Hearne on Wake
of Vultures
"Nettie Lonesome is a complex, tough, all-around wonderful
protagonist. And Lila Bowen is equally wonderful for bringing us
Nettie's story, set in a magical old west full of harpies and
monster-hunters and stolen children and more. I look forward to
more of Nettie's journey."--Jim C. Hines on Wake of Vultures
"Nettie Lonesome kicks major ass. There is something strange and
wonderful going on in Lila Bowen's head. It's the weird west
fantasy that I never knew I've always wanted to read. Now I need
more!"--Wesley Chu on Wake of Vultures
"Of all the books I've reviewed this year, Wake of Vultures' Nettie
Lonesome stands out as the most compelling, well-crafted
protagonist I've encountered... Bowen's superlative grasp of both
character development and worldbuilding elevates a familiar story
to mythic heights. "--RT Book Reviews (Top Pick!) on Wake of
Vultures
"Rhett is an appealing hero, gruff and prickly on the surface, with
deep feeling poorly hidden underneath, and his friends are complex,
well-drawn characters. The stakes couldn't be higher, and the story
couldn't be more absorbing. Fans of the Shadow will love returning
to his world, and fantasy fans who haven't yet encountered this
colorful cowboy should hurry up and dive in."--Kirkus (starred
review) on Malice of Crows
"Rhett is one of Bowen's (Dawson's) best characters to date, and
the world built in this series is rich and complex. One of my
favorite new series, to be sure. If you haven't picked up the first
book, Wake of Vultures, you really should. Then pick this one up
too."----- Pop Culture Beast on Conspiracy of Ravens
"Sharp as a silver Bowie and unsentimental as a stray bullet, Lila
Bowen's Nettie Lonesome earns a place among the legends of the
Weird West."--Matthew Stover on Wake of Vultures
"With this latest entry in The Shadow series, Bowen burnishes her
particular brand of Western mythic odyssey to a high shine.
Outstanding pacing takes us from one exciting, well-crafted scene
to another.... Extraordinary."--RT Book Reviews on Malice of Crows
