The Book of Fallen Leaves

The Book of Fallen Leaves is the beautifully-wrought story of people shaped by their violent past careening headlong toward an even bloodier future. I loved it, and I think that readers in search of family feuds, political savagery, and complex characters on both sides of an epic, unfolding war will love it too – Nicholas Eames
The Book of Fallen Leaves is lyrically told, rife with history and political intrigue. This is the rare book that is somehow both vast and intimate - with battles that leap off the page and characters who yearn to do what’s right – Andrea Stewart
A sprawling, complex fantasy epic that reads like real history. Ambition and vengeance, loyalty and betrayal, and characters caught in a tragic web of fate are the hallmarks of an impressive debut that builds slowly and steadily toward a brutal finale – Fonda Lee
Hauntingly immersive, A. S. Tamaki paints a world that is vividly, beautifully alive and completely lived in. The Book of Fallen Leaves reads like an old tale of yore, of the kind which bids you to come closer in the firelight, for the gods and ghosts are listening – Mina Ikemoto Ghosh
