Recensione:
is a monumental work of science fiction far superior to Asimov. MacLeod is set to become a writer of the magnitude of Dickens or Tolkien' Guardian
A wonderful, vivid, literate novel' STarburst
‘A monumental work of science fiction far superior to Asimov. MacLeod is set to become a writer of the magnitude of Dickens or Tolkien’ Guardian 26/02
‘With his follow-up to The Light Ages, Ian R MacLeod mixes up Mervyn Peake-esque events in the country pile at Invercombe with a full-blown English Civil War ... As fantasy continues on its long, painfully slow journey from faux medievalism, it’s a dark, richly textured delight. MacLeod will be a name to watch.’ SFX 01/03
'Macleod is one of the finest prose stylists around . . . his writing is unfailingly elegant, full of brilliantly realised English landscapes, deftly sensitive characterisations, luminously reworked fairy tales, and poetic elegies to lives and opportunities lost . . . amongst the best fantastic writing today. THE HOUSE OF STORMS is that uncommon thing, a sequel to be treasured as much as its precursor' LOCUS MAGAZINE, 02/05
'The House of Storms sees MacLeod's already strong writing take another notable step forward . . . Beautiful, turbid and often very rich, but never stifling prose flows from the page at a cracking rate of knots. Its fast-turning pages brim with joy and pain, love and war -- in short with humanity, a bit of everyday magic that shines brightly amongst the rather less common variety. MacLeod's current trajectory seems set to take him into the very top rank of modern British writers' VECTOR MAGAZINE (VECTOR Recommended Read) JULY ISSUE
