‘If George R.R. Martin wrote The Night Circus, Smiler’s Fair would be the result’ – STAFFER’S BOOK REVIEW
Perfect for fans of George R.R. Martin, Daniel Abraham, and Joe Abercrombie!
Welcome, to the Smiler’s Fair. . . the great moving carnival where any pleasure can be had, if you’re willing to pay the price.
All paths cross at the Smiler’s Fair. Even those of five unlikely strangers . . .
Nethmi, the orphaned daughter of a murdered nobleman, who in desperation commits an act that will haunt her forever.
Dae Hyo, the skilled warrior, who discovers that a lifetime of bravery cannot make up for a single mistake.
Eric, who follows his heart only to find that love exacts a terrible price.
Marvan, the master swordsman, who takes more pleasure from killing than he should.
And Krish, the humble goatherd, with a destiny he hardly understands and can never accept.
In a land where unimaginable horror lurks in the shadows, where the very sun and moon are at war, our five strangers must discover who they are – and who they are willing to become.

Rebecca Levene should be on everyone's radar as one of the great new writers of the genre
Smiler's Fair is a perfect blend of epic and 'gritty' fantasy, combining the best aspects of the two genres
We can judge other-world fantasy by the extent we want to return to it - and I can't wait to book my ticket back to the next episode of this outstanding, multi-stranded debut
Little by little, as the narrative twists and turns, Levene reveals the depth and complexity of her created world and leaves the reader eager for the next instalment
The first volume of The Hollow Gods is consistently surprising, packing in plenty of character development, fast and brutal action
All I know is that Rebecca Levene has written the most stunning first volume epic fantasy since Game of Thrones. It's a little bit grimdark, a little bit epic, and a whole lot of incredible. If George R.R. Martin wrote The Night Circus, Smiler's Fair would be the result. Go. Buy. It.
Fans of either Abraham or Abercrombie-fans of fantasy full stop, in fact-will find lots to like in Smiler's Fair. Its setting, its narrative, its characters-unlikeable as they are-all impress immensely, developed as they are with depth and discerning detail. In truth, the only complaint I'd make about the book is that there isn't more of it
Smiler's Fair is the epic fantasy I've been waiting for - riveting, compelling and adventurous
