Yet Another Review of Napier's Bones
This one is print only, in the New York Review of Science Fiction, in the March issue which is apparently now out. My publisher has sent along the review, which the author, Alex Good, was kind enough to send along the unedited text. I'm thrilled, to say the least. I can't post it all here, obviously, but here are a couple, including the final line of the review, which is a killer of a pull quote:
"It takes a sure hand to make material like this work, and it is much to Murphy's credit that he manages to pull it off. In tone it's a lot different from the typical ChiZine dark fantasy, but the lighter touch is welcome here."
and
"The result is a clever lark full of free-wheeling adventure and odd intellectual borrowings; a sort of winking DaVinci Code for the math set bracketed in magic and uncertainty."
