With The Cold Eye, Laura Anne Gilman magnificently continues to forge her own version of a Western, American myth of the very early days of a West that wasn't, but, perhaps reading both Silver on the Road, and The Cold Eye, I wish it might have been. * -- - Skiffy and Fanty Reviews * Gilman crafts a fascinating vision of a magic-infested continent, set in an unsettled and unpredictable time. * -- Publishers Weekly * ''Compelling reading.'' * -- Locus Magazine * This series is one of my favorites. I had high expectations going into this book, and I'm pleased to announce that Gilman surpassed every single one of them. If you haven't started this series yet, why not? It's one of the best things in the genre right now. 5/5 stars. * -- Bookworm Blues * Gilman is a master storyteller. (4/5 stars) * -- RT Book Reviews * A slam bang Weird Western. * - Kirkus Reviews * It's like the 'Oregon Trail' of magical voodoo western novels. [The Cold Eye] feels less like make-believe and more like walking in the wilderness of half-forgotten American legends. With just a midnight whisper of violent truth. * -- NPR Books * [THE COLD EYE is] a fabulous coming-of-age tale of magic and power, set in a conflict-ridden alternative Wild West so vividly evoked that readers will be saddling up to ride along. * - Library Journal (starred review) *
