Review

Praise for The Stone in the Skull

"Elizabeth Bear sweeps the reader into a world of ravishing detail."--Huffington Post

"Amazing worldbuilding, gloriously precise prose, and excellent pacing."--Tor.com

"The Eternal Sky trilogy is one of the great fantasy epics of the last decade, and Bear triumphantly returns to that setting."--Library Journal

"Glorious and dramatic."--Publishers Weekly, starred review

"The plot hews closely to the whole band-of-rogues-assemble-to-fight-stronger-band-of-foes . . . Bear noodles around that trope like a jazz master and takes the story to some interesting places . . ."--Locus

"This is a promising beginning indeed for an epic . . . and it will no doubt be a magnificent journey."--Booklist

"A panoramic drama that grabs and grips from Page 1 . . . vivid, absorbing, and thrilling."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"A thoughtful, richly complex, humane work eloquently told and elegantly constructed."--Fantasy Literature

"Enchanting."--The Illustrated Page

    5.0 out of 5 stars Boom!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 June 2019
    I loved the first book in this series (though I got the impression you could probably jump on with this one if you wanted to) but this second book really amps up the pace as the main characters each pursue their own strands of adventure in a really original and well realised world. I like Bear a lot - I must have read 20+ books by her - and I think this is her best so far.

    Ok, I’m not exactly an impartial reviewer, what with being a decades long enthusiast of Comrade Bear’s work, but that was some kinda awesome. Of course, it’s got the “middle book” curse of setting stuff up for the finale, but I hafta say the more and more I read of stuff set in this world, the more I love it. Wicked tiger-sorcerers who feed on war, ancient blind dragons drowsing in poison cities under killing stars, gargantuan Straandbeest cities mining radioactive deserts for dragon bones, cigarette-smoking amnesiac goddesses, the Gage and the Dead Man doing their thing, cunning queens desperately breaking themselves in pieces to save their people and outwit viciously dullwitted princelings; man, this place has it all!

    Continues the story from book 1, I love these characters and the universe Bear has built for them. I like how the story is progressing and I'm not going to say anything more except that it's very intriguing and beautiful.
