Description: Praise forthe Ley series: "Palmatier kicks off an epic fantasy series with this complex tale set in a world where wonders are accomplished by manipulating the magical energy of ley lines.... Palmatier lets the story build slowly, introducing a sprawling cast and fascinating setting, before explosively upsetting the status quo."-- Publishers Weekly "Palmatier takes familiar ideas of ley lines and magic wielders but gives them fresh life in this rich fantasy world ."-- Library Journal "Palmatier exploits an active imagination to good effect, with characters who develop along with the story...with plenty of tension and excitement. Fantasy regulars looking for a fresh series with real bite should find it worth a try."-- Kirkus " Intricate worldbuilding, engaging and complex characters, and a fresh sharp take on magic and politics. Shattering The Ley proves that Joshua Palmatier is definitely a key new voice in original fantasy."--Kari Sperring, author of Living with Ghosts " Shattering the Ley , the terrific new fantasy from Joshua Palmatier, is built of equal parts innocence, politics, and treachery. It features a highly original magic system , and may well be the only fantasy ever written where some of the most exciting scenes take place in a power plant. I couldn't put it down."--S. C. Butler, author of Reiffen's Choice " Shattering the Ley stands apart from the majority of second-world fantasy by having a distinctly modern cast to its worldbuilding ."--Tor.com "There's a lot happening, constantly driving the plot forward, and the political intrigue and ideological conflicts between the clashing factions keep things fresh and engaging ."--Bibliosanctum "Palmatier brilliantly shatters genre conventions.... An innovative fantasy novel with a very modern feel .... For readers who are willing to tackle a more challenging fantasy, without clear heroes and obvious conflicts, Shattering the Ley is an excellent read."--SFRevu
