Why read it?
1 author picked The Raven Tower as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Ann Leckie is not an author known for standard narration or gender roles, but she is known for great science fiction. Which is why I was astounded and delighted by her fantasy novel, The Raven Tower.
