Across four novellas, Neon Yang established themself as a fantasist in bold defiance of the limitations of their genre. Available now in a single volume, these four novellas trace the generational decline of an empire and unfurl a world that is rich and strange beyond anything you've dreamed.
In the Tensorate Series you will find: rebellious nonbinary scions of empire, sky-spanning nagas with experimental souls, revolutionary engineers bent on bringing power to the people, pugilist monks, packs of loyal raptors, and much, much more.
The Tensorate Series omnibus contains The Black Tides of Heaven, The Red Threads of Fortune, The Descent of Monsters, and To Ascend to Godhood
Reviews with the most likes.
thoroughly thoroughly enjoyed this series. loved the world, loved the magic, and i enjoyed the prose although it sometimes bordered on too descriptive for me. i liked the different style the last two novellas had.
sometimes it felt like these novellas should have been fully realised as fantasy epics instead of the shorter snippets we got! but the snippets are good for what they are. i think i just wanted to spend more time with the characters (my favourites are akeha and lady han btw). overall very good, keen to read more of yang's works.
