"Hardly since The Lies of Locke Lamora have I been so impressed
with a fantasy debut . . . The Blacktongue Thief is a bonafide
instant classic, and I sure as hell can't wait to see what Buehlman
comes up with next."--Grimdark Magazine "Readers of epic fantasy
novelists, like Tolkien or Brandon Sanderson, will enjoy this
journey, which is by turns fun, magical, or terrifying for the
travelers. . . . this title is transporting."--Library Journal
(starred review) "Dazzling. I heartily recommend this one."--Robin
Hobb, New York Times bestselling author of the Farseer Trilogy
"Wow! Truly outstanding. I can't say enough about how good The
Blacktongue Thief is. Damned good stuff."--Glen Cook, author of The
Black Company
"One of the most impressive novels I've read in a long
time--clever, imaginative, and extremely well written."--Arthur
Golden, New York Times bestselling author of Memoirs of a Geisha "A
delight from start to finish. Buehlman takes the well-worn tropes
of fantasy and weaves them into a new and vibrant
tapestry."--Anthony Ryan, New York Times bestselling author of
Blood Song
"Fast and fun and filled with crazy magic. I can't wait to see what
Christopher Buehlman does next." - Brent Weeks, New York Times
bestselling author of the Lightbringer series "Chock-full of wry
wit, foul language, and characters who arrive on the page with
savage, sordid pasts hot on their heels. Often humorous,
occasionally horrifying, and sometimes incredibly poignant, I love
every single page of this book. Every sentence, even. It's that
good."--Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld "Equal parts
fairy tale, D&D adventure, and acid trip. Buehlman has
successfully blended the essences of these elements into something
at once familiar and fresh. I look forward to returning to this
evocative and f*cked up world!"--Jonathan French, author of The
Grey Bastards "The Blacktongue Thief is a masterclass in voice and
thoughtful world design, with a wonderful cast and a protagonist
who grabs you instantly. Fans of Lynch's The Lies of Locke Lamora
will love this one."--Django Wexler, author of The Thousand Names
"Dark, gritty, lightning-fast, intelligent, irreverent . . . I
loved it."--Anna Smith Spark, author of The Court of Broken Knives
"Masterfully woven, joyfully mischievous, but also tragic and so
heartfelt. Fans of Nicholas Eames and Joe Abercrombie will love The
Blacktongue Thief."--Brian Naslund, author of Blood of an Exile
"Buehlman's prose floats nimbly from grisly to lyrical and back
again, evoking a damaged world that's by turns bleak and starkly
beautiful. A fantastical road trip with a hard-boiled sensibility,
complete with shape-shifting assassins, murderous kraken and some
delightfully gruesome magic."--A. K. Larkwood, author of The
Unspoken Name "Nobody combines the lyrical and visceral quite like
Christopher Buehlman. The Blacktongue Thief is fantasy of
distinction--in its wit, its hard magic, its chiseled detail.
Prepare to be transported."--Andrew Pyper, author of The
Demonologist and The Homecoming "Instantly immersive, with wit as
sharp as a thief's blade and the most frightening take on goblins
I've ever read."--David Dalglish, author of the Shadowdance series
"The Blacktongue Thief is fated to steal a lot of reader's hearts
with its charm, humor, intensity, and unrelenting fun."--Novel
