Her worlds have a magic sheen . . . She moulds them into dimensions we can only just sense. She is unique. She is legend

[Le Guin had] the heart of a poet who knew all too well the difference between miracle and eureka, revelation and revolution
- GUARDIAN

Told with shimmering lyricism, this coming-of-age saga will leave readers transformed
- Globe and Mail
Powers is rich with action, with battles, escapes, strategy, and skulduggery, but it has a still, quiet place at its heart, a place of moral complexity
- Toronto Star
In her facility in world-making and her interest in human nature, Le Guin stands above almost all of what's out there. Her exploration of identity and power, of social structures and the meaning of freedom, can only enrich her readers
