PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Jenn Lyons lives in Atlanta, Georgia, with her husband, three cats and a nearly infinite number of opinions on anything from Sumerian mythology to the correct way to make a martini. Formerly a video game producer, she now spends her days writing fantasy. A long-time devotee of storytelling, she traces her geek roots back to playing first edition Dungeons & Dragons in grade school and reading her way from A to Z in the school library. She is the author of the series A Chorus of Dragons.
What an extraordinary book. The Ruin of Kings is everything epic fantasy should be: rich, cruel, gorgeous, brilliant, enthralling and deeply deeply satisfying. I loved it -- Lev Grossman on <i>The Ruin of Kings</i> A fantastic page-turner with a heady blend of great characters, fast-moving action and a fabulously inventive magic system . . . I loved it -- John Gwynne on <i>The Ruin of Kings</i> It’s impossible not to be impressed with the ambition of it all, the sheer, effervescent joy Lyons takes in the scope of her project. Sometimes you just want a larger-than-life adventure story about thieves, wizards, assassins and kings -- <i>New York Times </i>on <i>The Ruin of Kings</i> Lyons proves she is worthy of comparison to other masters of epic fantasy, such as Patrick Rothfuss, Stephen R. Donaldson and Melanie Rawn -- <i>Booklist </i>starred review of <i>The Name of All Things</i> Simply put: this is top-notch adventure fantasy written for a twenty-first-century audience – highly recommended -- <i>Kirkus</i> starred review of <i>The Name of All Things</i> Lyons is creating a complex and wonderful series that will immerse and delight -- <i>Library Journal </i>on <i>The Name of All Things</i>
