"Grimsley's yarn is fast paced and adventuresome, and features some interesting gods and their creatures as well as a fascinating, grand-scale dichotomy of magic and science." --Booklist on The Last Green Tree "Intricate, well-crafted. The inconclusive ending to this complex work of world-building and large-scale politics seasoned with gore and desperation will have readers anxiously awaiting the next installment." --Publishers Weekly on The Last Green Tree "One of the most exciting new voices in science fiction." --Robert Silverberg "Besides magic aplenty, there is a beautifully developed spirituality . . .that elegantly evokes a reader's fascination and wonder." --Booklist (starred review) on The Ordinary "The Ordinary is an important novel. . . . Think of high-quality anthropological SF where antithetical societies meet, as in Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness." --Locus on The Ordinary "In this thoughtful blend of science fiction and fantasy, Lambda Award winner Grimsley questions humanity's tendency to discount what it can't measure." --Library Journal on The Ordinary
