Inda

Praise for the Inda series:
 
“The complexity and depth and inventiveness that mark a first-rate fantasy novel.... This is the mark of a major work of fiction.... You owe it to yourself to read Inda.” —Orson Scott Card, New York Times-bestselling author of Ender's Game

“Everything you want from a fantasy series—an interesting, fully developed world with several languages, environments, and cultures, a complex but not confusing plotline with a number of unexpected twists, really well-written action scenes, and above all, characters whose lives you follow and whose fates you care about.” —Diana L. Paxson, bestselling author of Sword of Avalon

“Smith deftly stage-manages the wide-ranging plots with brisk pacing, spare yet complex characterizations, and a narrative that balances sweeping action and uneasy intimacy.” —Publishers Weekly
 
“Pirates and plotters fill this swashbuckling sequel to Inda.... It’s full of action, adventure, and delightful larger-than-life characters.” —Locus
 
“All of the characters spring to life.... Smith’s rich details and imagery tie this story together. Complex and compelling.” —San Jose Mercury News
 
“[The] beautifully structured Inda series [comes] to a resounding conclusion.” —Strange Horizons

"Smith should rank high on any list of military writers.... A first-rate author boldly at play." —SF Signal
