Praise for The House War novels:
“Richly and superbly detailed. Her characters live and sing.”
—Examiner
“Lush, richly intricate…Jay is charismatic, deeply compelling…. The
story sucked me in and didn’t spit me out till the end…. Some say
Michelle West has been propelled into the ranks of George R.
R. Martin and Robin Hobb—I say she’s been there all along.” —Night
Owl Reviews
“Fans of award-winning Toronto fantasy writer Michelle West will be
delighted with this return to the vivid and detailed universe of
the Sacred Hunt and the Sun Sword series…. In a
richly woven world, and with a cast of characters that ranges from
traumatized street kids to the wealthy heads of the most prominent
houses in Averalaan, West pulls no punches as she hooks
readers in with her bold and descriptive narrative.” —Quill &
Quire
“This is a compelling story with riveting and finely wrought
characters that will keep you up well into the night. This story
will go down as one of the best novels in its genre, propelling
West into the ranks of Robin Hobb and George R.R. Martin. It’s
simply a great read, don’t miss it.” —The Maine Edge
“West is growing into a superb storyteller as
demonstrated by this best effort to date with a fully realized
world populated by a diverse range of nicely developed characters
and a compelling storyline that hooks readers in from the start.”
—Monsters and Critics
“I am glad I read it. It is out of the ordinary for a fantasy
tale, and is a Hamlet rather than a Henry V.”
—Grasping for the Wind
“Michelle West tells a wonderful tale…. I really like the way West
draws the characters, making them, even the children,
memorable. A lot of untold riches are implied here, and
I’m waiting eagerly for sequels.” —Philadelphia Center City
Weekly Press
“The power and majesty of the series is in the characters, although
the world itself is extraordinary.... The House
War series is timeless and clearly takes it place at the
top of its genre. It is a full-bodied piece of work that is
satisfying, intriguing and thought-provoking.” —Bitten by Books
