Rainseekers, The

""Like some space-age Chaucer decamped to the stars, Matthew Kressel weaves tales of humor, heartbreak, and high adventure under a changing Martian sky. The Rainseekers is a stirring tribute to human resilience and ingenuity--and simply a whole lot of fun."" --Jedediah Berry, author of The Naming Song ""Matt Kressel shows his talent both for robust speculation and deep characterization. Think The Canterbury Tales meets The Martian and start reading!"" --James Patrick Kelly, winner of the Hugo, Nebula and Locus awards ""Wonderfully clear and evocative writing. I'd read more SF if there was more like this."" --Jeffrey Ford ""Wonderfully clear and evocative writing. I'd read more SF if there was more like this."" --Jeffrey Ford, author of A Natural History of Hell and Ahab's Return Praise for The King of Shards ""A surreal and exotic adventure in a unique mythological setting. Scary, exhilarating fun!"" -N.K. Jemisin, multiple Hugo Award-winning author of The Broken Earth trilogy ""A radical reinvention of faith and folklore, not to mention the portal fantasy...majestic, resonant, reality-twisting madness."" -NPR ""An imaginative, intelligent, and soaring debut...A hell of lot of fun."" -Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts and The Cabin at the End of the World ""With surprising twists and a deep and detailed universe, King of Shards, the first in a trilogy, is likely to be remembered."" -Barnes & Noble Sci-Fi and Fantasy Blog ""In this prismatic tale of demons, righteous warriors, and multiple universes, Kressel plumbs the depths of Kabbalistic lore to create a unique fantasy cosmos... [An] engaging new epic fantasy."" -The Huffington Post ""A robustly imagined fantasy world... pleasingly unpredictable. His skill at extrapolating traditional religious lore into the stuff of fantasy bodes well for future books in the series."" -Publishers Weekly
