Praise for Luck in the Shadows by Lynn Flewelling
"Part high fantasy and part political intrigue, Luck in the Shadows makes a nice change from the usual muck of contemporary sword-and-sorcery. I especially enjoyed Lynn Flewelling's obvious affection for her characters. And at unexpected moments she reveals a well-honed gift for the macabre."
-Stephen R. Donaldson,
author of This Day All Gods Die
"Memorable characters, an enthralling plot, and truly daunting evil. The magic is refreshingly difficult, mysterious, and unpredictable. Lynn Flewelling has eschewed the easy shortcuts of cliched minor characters and cookie-cutter backdrops to present a unique world peopled by characters who are truly of that world. I commend this one to your attention."
-Robin Hobb, author of
Royal Assassin
"A splendid read, filled with magic, mystery, adventure, and taut suspense. Lynn Flewelling, bravo! Nicely done."
-Dennis L. McKiernan,
author of The Dragonstone
"An engrossing and entertaining debut novel. It opens up a new fantasy world that is ripe for exploration-full of magic, intrigues, and fascinating charactersÂ… the kind of book you settle down with when you want a long, satisfying read."
-Michael A. Stackpole, author of Star Wars X-Wing: Rogue Squadron
