It wasn’t long, however, until I returned to The Raven Tower in a better frame of mind and, after sticking with the book for longer than a half-dozen frustrated heartbeats, I was immediately hooked. I dropped it on my distressingly unstable To Read pile and read The Fork, The Witch, and The Worm by Christopher Paolini. Truth be told, however, that when I first opened the cover of The Raven Tower, I quickly slammed it shut, frustrated at yet another attempt to subvert expectations by changing the way in which authors tell stories. So, it should be of little surprise that, when I found out Leckie was writing a fantasy novel, I jumped at the opportunity to read it. Jemisin for a comparison, but I would argue that neither has achieved the meteoric rise and success so quickly out of the gate that Ann Leckie has achieved. We would probably need to look at the debuts of authors such as Brandon Sanderson and N.K.
There has probably been no author to have such a dramatic impact on the world of Science Fiction & Fantasy in the last decade as that made by Ann Leckie, whose debut novel Ancillary Justice walked away with every major genre award available to her.
