With 50 or 60 pages left, I still had no idea how he would close out the trilogy. And yet, he also gave moments where I was sure the story could not end for ages yet. I simply could not understand how he had hundreds of pages left. There were quite a few moments in Dust when Howey had me convinced the story had to be coming to a climax.

In this new book, Olondria is more foreground than backdrop. Lush and complex, Stranger was an exceptionally good book Histories is even better. But Histories is different in a few key ways: its structure, its choice of characters, and the way Samatar deploys her formidable gift for prose. Like the book before it, Histories deals with the way language, books, and romance intersect with class, politics, and religion - and it does so in an ornate, dreamlike atmosphere. Olondria is one of the richest new fantasy settings in recent memory, and Samatar has returned to it in The Winged Histories. ![]() In Sofia Samatar's World Fantasy Award-winning debut novel A Stranger in Olondria, she introduced an empire redolent with magic and rife with turmoil. ![]() Your purchase helps support NPR programming.
