Recenzii

Lee's ability to balance high science fiction concepts - worlds, cultures, and weapons - with a deep examination of character - tragic flaws, noble purpose, and societal ideas - is nigh unprecedented in space opera
How do you follow-up a breathtaking, multiple award-nominated debut that combined world-changing technologies, interesting reality-altering mathematics and awesome characters? Raven Stratagem is as mind-blowing as its predecessor, but in a completely different way
Without a doubt, Raven Stratagem is proof that Yoon Ha Lee sits next to Ann Leckie atop the podium for thoughtful, intricate, and completely human science fiction
Lee has leveraged the adage that 'any seemingly advanced science can look like magic' to create truly bizarre technologies; while there is plenty of gripping space opera action, the real pleasure of this series is the inventive worldbuilding
Ravenis a triumphant continuation of a vibrant new space opera. I expected intrigue and entertainment; I wasn't prepared for all the feelings... I can't wait to see where Yoon Ha Lee takes this rollercoaster next
If you like your universes with a dark sense of humour and a wonky moral compass, Lee may be the best thing to happen to Space Opera since Banks's untimely passing. Raven Stratagem is that rare thing - a sequel that betters the original. The ruling order is on its way out, and something is going to replace it. It could be freedom. It could be chaos. It could be a disaster. What could be more timely?
Last year, I read and loved a stunning military space opera. This year, I had the pleasure of reading the sequel, Raven Stratagem, and may have loved it even more. I really hope Lee chooses to write more. This series has been one of the best things to happen in science fiction, and I can't recommend it enough
The book works as a kind of puzzle... [and] like the best puzzles, there is a certain inevitable logic to how the whole thing plays out, both against and with our expectations. I for one can't wait to see the final scenario
There's grand space battles here. There's political manoeuvring at the heart of the Empire, and some genuinely crackling dialogue. There's characters baring their souls in genuinely moving moments. It makes for an absolutely cracking read
