About this eBook
One of the Time 100 Best Fantasy Books Of All Time
In the much-anticipated sequel to the “magnificent fantasy epic” (NPR) Grace of Kings, Emperor Kuni Garu is faced with the invasion of an invincible army in his kingdom and must quickly find a way to defeat the intruders.
Kuni Garu, now known as Emperor Ragin, runs the archipelago kingdom of Dara, but struggles to maintain progress while serving the demands of the people and his vision. Then an unexpected invading force from the Lyucu empire in the far distant west comes to the shores of Dara—and chaos results.
But Emperor Kuni cannot go and lead his kingdom against the threat himself with his recently healed empire fraying at the seams, so he sends the only people he trusts to be Dara’s savvy and cunning hopes against the invincible invaders: his children, now grown and ready to make their mark on history.

This is the only book I have ever preordered, and it was well worth the wait. Well written in tight third person, The Wall of Storms does a beautiful job of continuing the story of its predecessor. we see that dandelions fall as well as rise. This book filled me with hope and despair both, and if you liked the first you will like this one. Some of the characters go through arcs that tear at the reader's heart, but in the end I find myself proud of the actions of imaginary characters, which shows how well they are written. Thank you, Ken Liu.
