Reviews

Praise for "Limits of Power"
" "
"It's easy to become fully immersed in, and absorbed by, the narrative: [Elizabeth Moon's] great strength lies in the patient accumulation of telling detail, yielding an extraordinarily rich picture of the world's politics, philosophy, military structure, history, magic and alien cultures, where men and women stand as equals even in force of arms."--"Kirkus Reviews"
" "
"Thoughtful and deeply character driven, full of personal crises as heartbreaking and hopeful as any dramatic invasion . . . Moon deftly avoids big literary explosions, preferring instead a slow boil that builds pressure without relief. There are plots within plots, but the complex story is never confusing. Fantasy fans will be delighted by this impressive foray."--"Publishers Weekly "(starred review)
