Reviews

Locus

"...[C]ompulsive....Wright can approach the true uncanny unease, fearful ugliness, and lucent beauty of dream....[T]he tale...wings forward with inventive impulse, genuinely captivating....[B]y turns ingenious, absurd, disturbing, elevated, and even moving." Locus, August 2004, Damien Broderick

"[W]itty, cantankerous, and awesomely eloquent, John C. Wright amazes in fantasy as much as he has done in SF." Locus, October 2004, Nick Gevers

"Unlike other epic fantasies, Wright blends the very real world of today with his rich dream world, the two meeting in the myths of central Europe. The background of the dream world unfolds intriguingly, with a wealth of characters and settings. For fans of fantasy who enjoy a rich and textured story that unfolds in twists and turns, The Last Guardian Of Everness will be a wonderful read." SFRevu , November 2004, Nicki Lynch
