![]() ![]() ![]() If you've read her before, you're most likely ready for The Raven Tower to examine some of those familiar genre expectations. ![]() But this is Ann Leckie, whose Ancillary series - about a foot soldier with the memory of a spaceship who deploys weaponized manners to destabilize an intergalactic colonial empire - collected the Hugo, the Nebula, and the Clarke awards, among others. There are familiar elements of epic fantasy here. But when Mawat, the heir to the bench, is suddenly summoned home, he finds one Raven dead, his uncle in power, his father missing, and a city on the brink of disaster. In the city of Vastai in the country of Iraden is the Raven Tower, ruled by the Raven's Lease - whose life is forfeit to the god in exchange for such favor - and the Mother of the Silent, human interpreter of the forest god outside the gates.
