Review Quotes:
"The Dragons of Babel is an unqualified masterpiece representing the pinnacle of modern fantasy. Simply put, it is great fantasy as great literature." --SF Site.com
"A smart, stark steampunk fantasy. It's gritty and magical and, in sensibility, is similar to Neil Gaiman's
Neverwhere and
MirrorMask. Original and dashing,
The Dragons of Babel is a breath of fresh air." --
Starlog "If you haven't read Michael Swanwick yet, you've been missing some wonderful prose.... Con men and ward heelers, cluricauns and hobgoblins, and a stunningly beautiful elf-woman who rides a hippogriff all entice and enrapture Will, and the reader as well." --
