Reviews

Much to enjoy – treacherous plots, possession by the spirits, cracking battle scenes, and Lian Hearn writes with a delicate attention to detail that creates an all-encompassing world around her characters.
[The Harsh Cry of the Heron] builds to a climax that proves both fittingly cataclysmic and wholly satisfying.
An exquisite story . . . An involving adventure.
Gorgeously violent, complex and well-written.
