Histoire
In a warren of crumbling buildings and desperate people called the Old City, there stands a hospital with cinderblock walls that echo the screams of the poor souls inside. In the hospital, there is a woman. Her hair, once blond, hangs in tangles down her back. She doesn't remember why she's in such a terrible place. Just a tea party long ago, and long ears, and blood.

Histoire
Ren is a liar and a thief, a pattern-reader and a daughter of no clan. Raised in the slums of Nadežra, she fled that world to save her sister. Now, she has returned with one goal: to trick her way into a noble house, securing her fortune and her sister’s future. But in the city of dreams, her masquerade is just one of many. Enigmatic crime lord Derossi Vargo, stony captain of the guard Grey Serrado, dashing heir Leato Traementis, and the legendary vigilante known as the Rook all have secrets that could unravel her own.

Histoire
"The Near Witch" is only an old story told to frighten children. If the wind calls at night, you must not listen. The wind is lonely and always looking for company. There are no strangers in the town of Near. These are the truths that Lexi has heard all her life. But when an actual stranger, a boy who seems to fade like smoke, appears outside her home on the moor at night, she knows that at least one of these sayings is no longer true.

Histoire
A siege is approaching, and the city has little time to prepare. The people have no food and no weapons, and the enemy has sworn to slaughter them all. To save the city will take a miracle, but what it has is Orhan. A colonel of engineers, Orhan has far more experience with bridge-building than battles, is a cheat and a liar, and has a serious problem with authority. He is, in other words, perfect for the job. Sixteen Ways To Defend a Walled City is the story of Orhan, son of Siyyah Doctus Felix Praeclarissimus, and his history of the Great Siege.

Description
Shortlisted for the 2020 World Fantasy Award
Gods meddle in the fates of men, men play with the fates of gods, and a pretender must be cast down from the throne in this breathtaking first fantasy novel from Ann Leckie, New York Times best-selling author and winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and Arthur C. Clarke Awards.
"Absolutely wonderful...utterly brilliant." (The New York Times Book Review)
For centuries, the kingdom of Iraden has been protected by the god known as the Raven. He watches over his territory from atop a tower in the powerful port of Vastai. His will is enacted through the Raven's Lease, a human ruler chosen by the god himself. His magic is sustained via the blood sacrifice that every Lease must offer. And under the Raven's watch, the city flourishes.
But the power of the Raven is weakening. A usurper has claimed the throne. The kingdom borders are tested by invaders who long for the prosperity that Vastai boasts. And they have made their own alliances with other gods.
It is into this unrest that the warrior Eolo - aide to Mawat, the true Lease - arrives. And in seeking to help Mawat reclaim his city, Eolo discovers that the Raven's Tower holds a secret. Its foundations conceal a dark history that has been waiting to reveal itself...and to set in motion a chain of events that could destroy Iraden forever.
"It's a delight to read something so different, so wonderful and strange." (Patrick Rothfuss)

Ce que les critiques en disent
"Leckie's tale takes on a mythic, metafictional quality...and the story's elements weave into a stunning conclusion. This impressive piece of craftsmanship cements Leckie's place as a powerful voice in both SF and fantasy." (Publishers Weekly, starred review)
"Sharp, many layered, and, as always for Leckie, deeply intelligent." (Kirkus, starred review)

Loved this book, possibly even more than Ancillary
Anne Leckie has an incredible knack for writing nonhuman characters, and the narrator did a fantastic job giving voice to everyone in the book, human or otherwise. I'm really not sure what I can say about the content that isn't a spoiler, so I'll just leave it at "this is absolutely worth reading or listening to".

Beautiful exploration of the complexities of power
I love Ann Leckie's novels because she writes so well about the diverse and dynamic complexities of power relations. In "The Raven Tower", she does this just as well as her science fiction novels. I did not immediately realise the links to Hamlet, but once this was pointed out to me I saw the many ways in which she drew on characters and relations from Hamlet. In particular, I loved the parallels to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Adjoa Andoh is an incredible narrator and has made the many characters almost perfectly distinguishable.She is on my narrators to follow list now!! I would love to see her act...alas I do not live in the UK.

Not For Me
Made it a couple hours in and had to abandon ship. It felt like the author was trying to lay the groundwork for political intrigue and mystery, but the world (government, gods, etc.) just felt convoluted, and not in an interesting way, and there was absolutely nothing compelling about the characters. I was left with zero desire to learn more about this world or these characters. Adjoa Andoh's narration was great, but even this best narrator couldn't salvage this story for me. I will go to the grave without knowing what became of the usurper on the throne or whatever, and I am perfectly fine with that.
