The Raven Tower
The Raven Tower | Ann Leckie
Listen. A god is speaking. My voice echoes through the stone of your master's castle. The castle where he finds his uncle on his father's throne. You want to help him. You cannot. You are the only one who can hear me. You will change the world. A triumph of the imagination, The Raven Tower is the first fantasy novel by Ann Leckie, New York Times bestselling author and winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and Arthur C. Clarke Awards. 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 fantasy masterpiece.

Well this was different from the Imperial Radch series but I still enjoyed it very much. I love that Leckie is not afraid to play with language and gender representation but it was still a bit of an ask to get used to the second person narration pov. I abolutley adored both Eolo and the Strength and Patience of the Hill who were the main focus of the two narrative threads.

RamsFan1963 I've loved everything I've read by Leckie, so I'll definitely be looking for this one. 3mo

I wanted to like this, because the concept is great, but the whole book is one long chapter with section breaks. I found it exhausting to read. Also found the second-person narration a bit odd, but would probably have rolled with it had there been more chapter breaks.

Leckie style always takes me a moment to get into. I frequently reread the first chapters of her books in order to snap into it. My nerd side really enjoyed how she built up the culture of her world. The story itself is original and interesting. I just think there was something to the way the climax built which didn't quite work. 4 stars rather than 5. Still a pick.

🎧 Polarizing! 🧐

Mostly told in second person with a sprinkling of 1st person. This is interesting & somewhat unique to me BUT I was taken out of the story repeatedly.

80% into the book I couldn‘t even tell you the name of one character. I just wasn‘t interested.

The story was ok & I enjoyed the way the god/human interaction was comically real & I could swear there was Hamlet fan service paid & right after I read Hamnet 🤨

⭐️⭐️1/4 👇🏻

Twainy The narrator was good but I felt she was neither an improvement nor a Star stealer.

All in all it was interesting but I wasn‘t pulled into the story & didn‘t care about the characters. I was more interested in the technical aspects of the writing.

There is an audience for this book it‘s just not me. I had a love/hate relationship with it and it wasn‘t a kind of hate that I love.

⭐️⭐️To be honest I have no idea how to rate or review this one. Writing-wise it was a very interesting style mixing first and second person. Plot-wise it moved slowly, and story-wise I didn‘t really care about anyone. The audiobook narration was interesting, but made me dislike characters I don‘t think I would have because of her vocal choices.
However. It‘s also unlike anything I‘ve read before, and that, at least, makes it interesting.

I loved it. Like her science fiction, the joy is in the discovery and exploration of a fully realized, original world. Nothing will ever top Ancillary Justice for me but Leckie‘s premodern fantasy world with implacable and very real gods is wholly immersive and believable. Transporting.

While the concept of this book and the unique thoughts behind it were great, it really didn‘t catch me. The second person narrative was an interesting touch. It has definitely been a thought provoking read, and I definitely wanted to finish it and see where it went. But I‘m honestly still figuring out my exact thoughts on this one.

If you are looking for an action pack and fast moving novel, do not read this book. If you are in the mood for a grandiose pondering of the mind of gods (ancient and patient vs young and impulsive) and their relation to humans and each other, read this epic book.

A fantasy novel about ancient gods and the power they have or don‘t. As always, Leckie is amazing at building immersive worlds that feel foreign and familiar at once. I was not sure I liked the second person narration but then as it becomes clear who/what the narrator is, I ended up really liking it.

The Raven Tower | Ann Leckie

Narrated by a god to one of the characters in second person (get your head around that!) it‘s an interesting take on the evolution of the world. The god (as far as I‘ve read) hasn‘t moved from the time they gained awareness although the world has changed around them. They narrate their story to ‘you‘ in flashbacks while also recounting their first encounter with ‘you‘.

Just starting this one. Much as with her ‘Ancillary Justice‘ series Leckie throws you in at the deep end - and her deep ends have unusual currents. In this case, the unknown narrator addresses you and tells you ‘your‘ story from their perspective.

Well, this was a disappointment. The overall concept is trite, the second-person narration is obnoxious, the writing is lackluster, and the pacing is painfully slow. I finished, still wondering when something interesting was going to happen and also desperate for the end. The ending was lame, too, clearly a setup for a sequel.

saresmoore @Branwen That makes me feel better because I know you read much more widely in this genre than I do! I have been craving SFF and even high fantasy lately. I started All Systems Red and I‘m loving it. I also bought The Priory of the Orange Tree as a Kindle deal recently, so hoping that will scratch the itch. I‘m open to recs, though, if you have any! 5y
Branwen @saresmoore Yes, I was really surprised at my dislike for this book! The genre I just love, and because of that it's rare for me to find a book in fantasy that I don't like, but...well, it was kust awful! 😁 Oooh, Priory of the Orange Tree is SO FREAKING WONDERFUL! I'm reading it now, and kerp being blown away by it! GREAT CHOICE! 😄👍 5y
Branwen @saresmoore I would also reccomend Middlegame by Seanan Mcguire! I just finished that and it was marvelous! Time travel, clones, complex storytelling, and overall great characters. Actually, the Wayward Children series by the same author is also fantastic. It's about children who go to other worlds and how they cope with coming back to our world when they're a bit older. 5y
Branwen @saresmoore I've also just started a fantasy book called A Conspiracy of Truths by Alexandra Rowland which is really good! The protagonist is a cranky old man and he's amazing! 🤣😂 5y
Branwen @saresmoore Those were all fantasy recs. If you're looking for scifi I HIGHLY RECCOMEND The Expanse series. Hands down one of the best series I've ever read! 5y

1/5⭐ Amazingly there's almost no plot OR character development. Usually books show progress in at least one area. There are so many layers of distancing, like the narrator's recounting of long past events, the irritating 2nd-person narration of the only interesting character, and the infodumping. I enjoyed the difficulty of Leckie's Imperial Radch series, but if this book has anything going for it, it went completely over my head. #bookemon

saresmoore I just looked this up to see if others had liked it. I‘m 60 pages in and bored out of my mind! Plus, yes, very much agree about the second person. Yeesh. 5y

I‘m glad that I stuck with this past the first hour of the #audiobook (the point where I considered bailing). I became so invested that I didn‘t want to stop listening, one of the few times I could say that insomnia was a blessing, because it allowed me to finish a riveting novel in record time. Among the intriguing cast of characters are gods, humans raised to be sacrificed to gods, and a couple of pragmatic queers. #LGBTQ fantasy

saresmoore I am reading this now (in print) and trying to decide whether or not to bail. The second person narration and all the tangential history/world building is irksome! I‘m about 60 pages in. 5y
Lindy @saresmoore I understand. I seriously contemplated bailing even though I‘ve loved Leckie‘s previous work. This one seemed disappointingly derivative, at the beginning. At 60 pages, it sounds like you are near what was the tipping point for me. Once I was hooked, I didn‘t want to stop. 5y
saresmoore I will give it some more time—thank you! I‘m ready to be hooked. 5y

I‘m an hour into this and considering bailing. The narrator, Adjoa Andoh, is one of my favourites, so that‘s not the problem. It just seems too predictable, in spite of being told from a god‘s viewpoint. It‘s possibly too soon after Black Leopard Red Wolf for me to read another fantasy. I loved Ann Leckie‘s Imperial Radch series so much, however, that I will give this audiobook another hour before making up my mind.

This book was fun and so good. I hope Leckie expands this story with more books because I loved the characters and need to know what happens next. The writing style was odd at first but once you figure out who‘s talking it gets so much better. I suggest reading the physical copy because there‘s no character change break on audio. If you love epic fantasy with hidden POVs this is a good pick it reminded me of The Fifth Season but slightly better.

#JustTheRightBook sent me this. I‘ve loved every single selection #JTRB sent before, but I hated this one with a passion. The writing is average, the pace is slow, the characters one dimensional. Other readers enjoyed the big “reveal” at the VERY end of the book, but it wasn‘t a surprise to me. It is a YA appropriate fantasy novel with zero sex and only one F-💣 My fav part was the lesson that municipal water service is important for sanitation💦

I‘ve read and enjoyed everything by Ann Leckie and this book is no exception. I just finished and I‘m still processing...there was a lot to like-the human protagonist was an intelligent, likeable, and level-headed character, the world-building is interesting, and the writing was excellent. However, the book was a combination of first and second person which was strange and there should have been more character building. Sequel? 4.0/5.0 ⭐️ #2019

The story is narrated by a patient but vengeful god who happens to be a rock. It‘s the sole narrator and switches between its own story and Eolo‘s.

Pro‘s: original concepts, good world building, nice writing. Leckie has a way with words.

Cons: Slow pace. Conceptually intriguing and boring all at once.

I‘ve read slow-paced novels before and loved them, but this one, though kind of interesting, drags. Worth a try but not a must read.

I don‘t know guys. Somehow the chatty old rock god turns out to be not so safe and I wasn‘t expecting it. Chilling! I‘ve been interning in the children‘s department at a local library and we often talk about how repetition in literature builds patterns that are soothing and predictable for young children. It works on adults too because I got sucked into the “Here is a story I have heard” pattern without realizing that the stories were warnings.

Phenomenal. A slow burn of a story which steadily builds to an ending which...just...wow...More than just a story about gods & humans at war, it‘s a story about the nature of belief, faith, religion—how they develop & evolve over time—about tradition, power & much more. There are no grand action sequences but there are innumerable moments, large & small, which tease & reveal until the end. A fascinating, introspective & thought-provoking book.

I thought this was brilliant. I love the way it wound up to deliver a punch at the end. I love the POV (and I just know I'm going to be so irritated by people's reactions) and how it solves the problem of who is telling the story to whom (and why), which has always been a thing of mine with first person.

I think i prefer the Imperial Radch books for narrative directness and being a little more predictable that way, but love this too.
