Praise for A World Too Near
Book Two of The Entire and the Rose

“One of the most imaginative creations in recent science fiction history.”

SF Site

“Kenyon’s latest has it all—plot, character, action, science, and the sense of wonder that all the cynics say can’t be done anymore. A remarkable achievement.”

Mike Resnick, Hugo-winning author of Starship: Mercenary and Santiago

“The fate of two universes hangs in the balance in this intricately plotted sequel to Bright of the Sky. . . . Tangled motivations, complex characters, and intriguing world building will keep readers on the edges of their seats.”

Publishers Weekly Starred Review

“Kay Kenyon continues to offer some neat adventures for her protagonists in this really alluring offbeat universe she’s created. . . . All the characters continue to be fascinatingly complex. . . . Every minor character is endowed with exceptional depth and reality. . . . The artificial universe known as the Entire remains a great conception and playground for adventure.”

Sci Fi Weekly

“. . . continues the promise shown in book one. . . . The Entire is a marvelous parallel universe . . . [and] the details of [the main character’s] quest make for stunning adventure fiction, while the mysteries revealed about the Entire are completely mind-blowing. . . . It is epic fantasy and world building on a grand scale. It would be criminal if this novel didn’t make year’s best lists at the end of 2008.”
