Description: Praise for White Luck Warrior : "One of Canada's most successful fantasy writers, Bakker has been praised by fans and critics around the world for his thoughtful, complex and meticulously detailed world, his colourful and credible characters, and his deviously intriguing, action- packed plotting." -- Globe and Mail (CAN) "As cerebral and intricate as the first book in the Aspect-Emperor trilogy, The Judging Eye . . . A must for readers rapt by the overall conception." -- Booklist "[ The White-Luck Warrior ] raises the stakes, expands the backstory and furthers the understanding of both the characters and reader of what is happening . . . It is a monumentally satisfying work of epic fantasy and probably the finest volume in this subgenre published for half a decade . . . With this series, Bakker has taken the most basic of epic fantasy plots . . . and empowered it with motivation and ambition before not so much deconstructing it as tearing it apart and rebuilding it brick by brick. It's a work of fiendish intelligence . . . The White Luck Warrior sees Bakker achieving a near- perfect balance in his work . . . The plot is perfectly pitched . . . The White Luck Warrior is a powerful, engrossing, ferociously intelligent novel that sees Bakker at the very top of his game. It leaves the reader on the edge of their seat for the concluding volume of the trilogy, The Unholy Consult ." -- The Wertzone Blog Praise for R. Scott Bakker: "Exquisitely intelligent and beautifully written... this is fantasy with muscle and brains, rife with intrigue and admirable depth of character, set in a world laden with history and detail." --Steve Erikson, author of Gardens of the Moon "The author of "The Prince of Nothing" series ( The Darkness That Comes Before ; The Warrior-Prophet; The Thousandfold Thought ) understands the art of crafting fantasy epics spiced with exotic trappings and should attract fans of epic fantasy." -- Library Journal "One of the finest new fantasy creations in recent memory, a dazzling epic that breaks utterly free of the conventions of its genre." -- Toronto Star "Bakker's narrative remains one of the most ambitious in epic fantasy." -- fantasybookspot.com
