On January 2 I was privileged to be able to share Juliet Marillier’s thoughts on The Gathering of the Lost with you here.

Now chemical physicist, dancer, and Nebula-award winning speculative fiction author, Catherine Asaro, has also read the second instalment in The Wall of Night series—and here’s what she has to say:

.

“Helen Lowe writes wonderful stories, yes, but her work also speaks with lyricism to deeper questions of how we treat each other.  With lovely prose that brings vivid life to her characters, she creates a universe with people we care about. This is an author with a gift for fantasy.”

~ Catherine Asaro
