One of the Time 100 Best Fantasy Books Of All Time

In the much-anticipated sequel to the “magnificent fantasy epic” (NPR) Grace of Kings, Emperor Kuni Garu is faced with the invasion of an invincible army in his kingdom and must quickly find a way to defeat the intruders.

Kuni Garu, now known as Emperor Ragin, runs the archipelago kingdom of Dara, but struggles to maintain progress while serving the demands of the people and his vision. Then an unexpected invading force from the Lyucu empire in the far distant west comes to the shores of Dara—and chaos results.

But Emperor Kuni cannot go and lead his kingdom against the threat himself with his recently healed empire fraying at the seams, so he sends the only people he trusts to be Dara’s savvy and cunning hopes against the invincible invaders: his children, now grown and ready to make their mark on history.

I went into this tale worried that it wouldn't live up to grace of kings. I couldn't have been more wrong! I love how we get so much charecter development which makes loosing them a truly emotional moment. the only problem I see with this book is that there isn't a 3rd one ready to go.

Ken Liu does it again.

This is like game of thrones in Japanese fictional universe. Super entertaining and decently unpredictable. Big fan of this series.

I like Japanese fiction and loved game of thrones.

Complicated dissection of delicate human motivation and emotions. At times pointedly depressing and disarming true to our all to human natures. Bravo

Fantastic

This is easily one of my favorite novels of all time. I really enjoyed the Grace of Kings but was blown away by The Wall of Storms. The characters have a depth and humanity to them that is both inspiring and familiar. The women rule in this sequel where they wield power and influence with bookish ingenuity, confident sexuality, and military prowess. I loved this beautiful novel, we need more of this kind of story telling in the world!

AMAZING. Beautiful novel where steal the show
