By China Miéville

Smart, intelligent, thought-provoking ideas but not a compelling novel.

In every way a triumph. Rothfuss proves he is without doubt one of the finest fantasy writers currently gracing the genre.

By Blake Charlton

Could have been written in 1995 so if you like fantasy of a more traditional style then you'll definitely be a fan.

A YA novel, albeit one with a rare boldness and level of complexity within the genre.

A brilliant, fascinating, insightful and compelling book, emotionally deep and intellectually stimulating that asks big questions.

Another 2011 ACCA nominee, The Dervish House is a fascinating and hugely enjoyable book by a writer of real vision.

By Lauren Beukes

Lauren Buekes walked away from the 2011 Arthur C Clarke Literary Award clutching the winning gong, but did she deserve it?
