The Art of Prophecy is an ambitious and touching exploration of disillusionment in faith, tradition, and family, and but also unexpectedly funny. I loved following Wesley Chu s intricate narrative through this sprawling universe full of glorious reinvention of fantasy and wuxia tropes. Naomi Novik, New York Times bestselling author of A Deadly Education
In this superb fantasy saga of tough, old martial-arts masters and inexperienced young heroes, Wesley Chu has given us a richly inventive page-turner that delights on every page. The Art of Prophecy is Wesley Chu at the height of his imaginative powers, and I can t wait for the next installment! Helene Wecker, author of The Golem and the Jinni and The Hidden Palace
Electrifying, thrilling, and a glorious, romantic ride, The Art of Prophecy is a true delight. Readers won t be able to put it down. Robert Jackson Bennett, author of The Founders Trilogy
Wesley Chu has done it again this time on an epic scale. The Art of Prophecy is a terrific and compelling story that plays off so many classic tales taken from our own world and reinvents them all in classic fashion. Terry Brooks, New York Times bestselling author of Child of Light
Come for the awesome fight choreography, stay for the sly wit, worldbuilding, and a fresh and unexpected take on the hero s journey! Jacqueline Carey, New York Times bestselling author of Kushiel s Legacy
A whirlwind tale rich with politics and fantastical martial arts . . . Chu tells a refreshing coming-of-age story with a chosen one who faces real challenges to become a hero. Robin Hobb, author of the Fitz and the Fool Trilogy
In The Art of Prophecy, Wesley Chu writes like a master war artist. The War Arts Saga introduces a lavish world of martial arts that transcends into the mystical, just as this grandiose epic fantasy adventure transcends the page and comes alive in your mind. Peter V. Brett, New York Times bestselling author of The Desert Prince
[The Art of Prophecy] is squarely directed at kung fu, wuxia, and wire-fu fans who adore Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; Hero; The Legend of Drunken Master; Kung Fu Hustle, and the like, providing a story with an epic sweep punctuated with dashes of humor and sharp-edged banter. . . . Dramatic, fun, thoughtful, clever, and (literally) punchy. Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Chu s wry prose and characters are a delightful counterpoint to the physical and emotional demands undertaken by Jian and his allies, while the subplots build a vast panoramic view of this incredible world in the first of a new series. Library Journal
