"This feast for the imagination intelligently captures the
complexities of a variety of relationships in an adrenaline-fueled
series of escapades and will leave readers both exhausted and
elated." --Publishers Weekly, starred review "Empress of Forever
[demonstrates] the strength, power, and originality at his command.
A deep, cellular-level enchantment filled at every turn with
curiosity and delight." --Peter Straub, New York Times bestselling
author "A classic space opera that impossibly becomes a thrilling
dungeon crawl fantasy through a universe we've never seen before.
So smart it makes me jealous."--Delilah S. Dawson, New York Times
bestselling author "A breakneck epic that explores a wildly, boldly
imagined universe, filled with awe and wonder." --John Chu, Hugo
Award-winning author "Readers will be hooked from page one. Vivan
Liao is the best kind of badass. Zanj is an epic trainwreck of
death and destruction. The rest of the crew is too awesome for
words. The whole book is filled with the kind of snark that I love
and an endless majesty of stars. It broke me to pieces and then
stitched me back together with golden thread. Simply glorious." --
K.B. Wagers, author of Behind the Throne
"This is galaxy-saving space opera with cool original settings and
a unique band of adventurers that change each other for the better.
It was a wild ride and I really enjoyed it."--Martha Wells, Nebula
Award-winning author of The Murderbot Diaries "Max Gladstone has
recklessly folded space and time in order to project a galaxy sized
adventure into this book-sized container. Take care when you open
it." --Howard Tayler, Hugo Award-winning creator of Schlock
Mercenary "Places Gladstone firmly in the lineage of William Gibson
and Neal Stephenson, and yet stands apart as something incredibly
special." --Fran Wilde, Andre Norton Award-winning author "Empress
of Forever is a spaceship. It blasts through a vast sparkling
cosmos, powered by myth and Gladstone's boundless imagination,
crewed by characters you can't help but love." --Hannu Rajaniemi,
author of The Quantum Thief "A gloriously maximal space opera in
the tradition of Banks and Rajaniemi--the diamond-bright adventure
of five unlikely companions across a transhuman galaxy." -- Seth
Dickinson, author of The Traitor Baru Cormorant
