Praise for this book
Praise for Ada Palmer:
"It’s too good and too powerful to see around or to attempt to sum up, so I keep being thrown back on “Wow” and “Yes, this is what science fiction is for.”--Jo Walton, on Perhaps the Stars
"Rich and satisfying... Terra Ignota is a great work of philosophical science fiction."--Strange Horizons, on Perhaps the Stars
“Spellbinding...The well-built intrigue keeps the pages turning on the way to a satisfying ending.”—Publishers Weekly on Perhaps the Stars
"Any reader who has ever thrilled to the intricate machinations of the Dune books, or the Instrumentality tales of Cordwainer Smith, or the sensual, tactile, lived-in futures of Delany or M. John Harrison...will enjoy the mental and emotional workout offered by Palmer’s challenging Terra Ignota cycle." —Locus
"The interplay between reader and narrator is especially enjoyable, calling into question reliability and truth." —Publishers Weekly
“More intricate, more plausible, more significant than any debut I can recall…If you read a debut novel this year, make it Too Like the Lightning.” —Cory Doctorow
