New York Times Book Review
<i>The Bird King</i> is marvelous in the deepest sense - a treasure-house of a novel, thrilling, tender, funny and achingly gorgeous. I loved it.
- Lev Grossman, author of THE MAGICIANS trilogy,
G. Willow Wilson has a deft hand with myth and with magic, and the kind of smart, honest writing mind that knits together and bridges cultures and people. You should read what she writes.
- Neil Gaiman,
<i>The Bird King</i> takes a time period that's passed into cliché and makes it new and strange again. In this novel, the real runs alongside the fantastic, one informing the other, G. Willow Wilson's eye for detail and her titanic imagination pumping together like pistons. She's incredible. <i>The Bird King</i> has big things to say about states and souls, and it's going to take you on a rollicking ride while it says them. I was fascinated and riveted and, by the end, deeply moved.
- Robin Sloan, author of SOURDOUGH,
Steeped in magical realism . . . [and] enchanting otherworldly trappings, it is primarily a novel of ideas. [<i>The Bird King</i>] grapples with who we are, how we love, [and] why we worship . . . [with] prose so vivid and original that one can only read it with envy.
