Jon wrote an essay about bookstores and The Way of Sorrows for the Houston Chronicle in advance of his Skype event with local booktsore Murder by the Book.
“It’s a novel of jaw-dropping ambition and imagination – Zoroaster, Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaton, Jesus Christ and the space probe Voyager all play their part – as Steele, formerly an award-winning journalist, gives Harper an appropriately fabulous, epic finale.”
“The Way of Sorrows is a powerful, ambitious novel, steeped in fantasy, legend and history, presenting a tensely dangerous, sometimes humorous and often tearfully moving world in which angels walk among us, albeit sometimes disguised as police and Grateful Dead roadies. The ending is spectacular and brilliantly located – a magnificent, fitting conclusion to a trilogy the like of which I doubt I’ll read again.”
“Steele’s dexterity in weaving sharply drawn, memorable characters into a multilayered story line is breathtaking, as is the pyrotechnic display of supernatural action that brings the series to a thrilling conclusion.” Full review here.
“Steele wraps up his apocalyptic Angelus Trilogy with a bang.” More from Publishers Weekly.
