Why read it?
1 author picked Notes from the Burning Age as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Her world-building is frenetic and detailed, but never loses the reader in its creation. What I love about North’s writing is her often lyrical style and vivid descriptions, there’s plenty of that in this novel. Above all this is an oddly spiritual novel, asking what role religion might play in a world where the old gods appear to have deserted humankind.
From Chris' list on speculative fiction that blew my mind.
