Our reviews of Elizabeth Bear's work
Bone and Jewel Creatures
by Elizabeth Bear
Elizabeth Bear's 2010 fantasy novella. An aging Wizard, a feral child, and one of the most evocative North African-inspired settings in recent SFF.
Book of Iron
by Elizabeth Bear
Book of Iron by Elizabeth Bear review. A 2013 Eternal Sky fantasy novella, the prequel to Bone and Jewel Creatures. Bijou the Wizard, a desert expedition, sharp North African-inspired worldbuilding.
Carnival
by Elizabeth Bear
Elizabeth Bear's 2006 SF novel. Diplomats on a matriarchal world, a planet of telepathically suspicious humanity, and the most interestingly compromised first contact in recent SF.
Karen Memory
by Elizabeth Bear
Elizabeth Bear's 2015 steampunk Western. A Pacific Northwest brothel, a young woman protagonist with the strongest first-person voice in recent SF, and one of the most enjoyable SF novels of its decade.
Steles of the Sky
by Elizabeth Bear
Steles of the Sky by Elizabeth Bear 2014 review. The final book of the Eternal Sky trilogy lands its Mongol-empire-inspired epic fantasy with rare grace.
The Chains That You Refuse
by Elizabeth Bear
The Chains That You Refuse by Elizabeth Bear 2006 review. The first collection of short fiction from a Hugo-and-Campbell-winning writer at her most generous.
