Reviews
Praise for the Throne of Amenkor series:
"I give The Skewed Throne four and a half out of five really creepy-ass iconic chairs, and a strong suggestion that it not walk down any dark alleys alone. I highly recommend it." Seanan McGuire, New York Times bestselling author of the Toby Daye series
"A gritty, edgy, unsettling book. This tough young woman makes her choices in a world where good and evil often look like twins. I was riveted by her story!" Tamora Pierce, New York Times bestselling author of the Song of the Lioness series
"Joshua Palmatier has written a vivid, passionate story about a tough-minded heroine fighting for survival. What makes her especially compelling is her own struggle to understand right and wrong, and to confront what necessity can force you to do. This promising first novel should lead to equally confident sequels." Kate Elliott, New York Times bestselling author of Spiritwalker series
"The strength of Palmatier's book lies in Varis. Varis is a bitter girl, hardened by years of living in the Dredge, but she retains a core of humanity. Her ability to slip into what she calls the river, where threats stand out as splashes of red in the currents of the world around her, makes her an intriguing point of view character...if you enjoy grittier fantasy, I would recommend picking up The Skewed Throne." Jim C. Hines, author of the Magic ex Libris series
"If you are familiar with Arya Stark in George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series, you'll love Varis, who has a similar tenacity and toughness. I highly recommend The Skewed Throne and fans of gritty fantasy will love this book." Paul Genesse, author of the Iron Dragon series
"This novel grips the reader with a swift-moving tale of political intrigue and economic survival in a world where the most dangerous secrets are never forgotten." Publishers Weekly
