Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
Absolutely phenomenal fantasy--Adrian Tchaikovsky
Williams portrays her characters as flawed but humane, propels the plot with expert pace, and excels at eldritch world-building--Guardian
There is so much to praise about The Ninth Rain: the worldbuilding is top-notch, the plot is gripping and the characters just get better and better. A sublime read--SFX
Yet again, Williams has created an addictive and coherent fantasy world filled with all sorts of deliciously interesting things within it... This is fantasy adventure at its very best. Go check it out--Starburst
The Ninth Rain is a fast-paced and vibrant fantasy romp through a new world, full of people you want to spend time with and enemies you'd happily run from--SciFiNow
Jen Williams takes us on another great adventure. Fresh, engaging, and full of heart--Peter Newman
A cracking story that grips you by the heart and doesn't let go--Edward Cox
A very original fantasy world--Story Collector
The Ninth Rain is full of tropes written in a different and clever way. The drop-dead gorgeous man? He's the source of comedy. Immortals living off human blood but dying as well because of it? Yes, sounds like vampires, although they're not called as such in this book. The threat of zombies and zombie-infestation? They're present too, but not the usual plot line that involves a virus or what not. It was all so brilliantly done'--The Travelling Bibliophile
Brilliantly creative fantasy--This Northern Gal
