Lens Of The World
Lens of the World, Book 1
R.A. MacAvoy

ISBN: 0-380-71016-1


One of the five best Science Fiction books of the year
New York Times Book Review

“Truly a writer of talent and promise”
Washington Post Book World

“A fantasist to reckon with... Mixes comedy, tragedy and humanity into a seamless whole that
demands re-reading... The best book MacAvoy has done...”
Locus

“A work of soaring imagination. MacAvoy has always been a good writer; with this book she
becomes an outstanding one.”
Morgan Llywelyn, L author of Lion of Ireland

“Fantasy with all the conceptual rigor of good science fiction... MacAvoy writes with clarity about
the often muddled search of the young for their own identity. Nazhuret learns much in this fine novel, but
not enough to satisfy his own curiosity or ours; that undoubtedly will be the job of the promised sequels.”
New York Times Book Review

“Its style, quite unlike that of the usual fantasy, rivets attention, and the story is one which remains in
the mind.”
Andre Norton, author of Dare to Go A-Hunting

“A coming-of-age fantasy in a late-medieval alternate world... Possibly MacAvoy’s best work since
the Damiano trilogy.”
Kirkus Reviews

“Colorful, inventive, rich in detail, and well-written— the sort of book that other writers of imaginary
history attempt but rarely achieve.”
James Blaylock, author of The Stone Giant

“One of the best and most innovative writers to come out of the ‘80s ... The reader remains
engrossed from the first few pages.”
Other Realms

“MacAvoy has just about every skill of the accomplished fantasist at her command and’in this volume
displays them all. The book bodes exceedingly well for the rest of the series.’’
Booklist

You are the lens of the world: the lens through which the world may become aware of itself.
The world, on the other hand, is the only lens in which you can see yourself. It is both lenses
together that make vision.
