ReviewsPraise for The Stress of Her Regard "Good serious fantasy doesn't come much better than The Stress of Her Regard ." -- Oxford Times "Strewn with literary personages and allusions, the book is entertaining on several levels...." -- Publishers Weekly "Powers's framing of a vast, mysterious conspiracy, with ancient supernatural powers, hidden riddles, and secret societies, rivals anything written by Umberto Eco...." -- Blogcritics Magazine "Intricately laced plots, theories of magick advanced and practical, and strange-but-true historical incidents." -- Green Man Review "...well-written and overflowing with imagination...." -- Bookgasm "Doing what Powers does best, by interspersing a dozen plot lines and characters with a bucket-load of paranormal and tying them up perfectly, he has conjured a tale that could be taken from the history books and taught as fact, and no one would even bother to challenge it. The unfortunate truth is that it's not real, and that's what it makes it all the more amazing." -- SF Crowsnest, "Through both innovation and preservation, Tachyon Publications has become one of the most respected publishing houses in speculative fiction." — Hellnotes: Fiction, Movies, and Art Dedicated to the Horror Genre, "Good serious fantasy doesn't come much better than The Stress of Her Regard ." -- Oxford Times "Strewn with literary personages and allusions, the book is entertaining on several levels...." -- Publishers Weekly "Powers's framing of a vast, mysterious conspiracy, with ancient supernatural powers, hidden riddles, and secret societies, rivals anything written by Umberto Eco...." -- Blogcritics Magazine "Intricately laced plots, theories of magick advanced and practical, and strange-but-true historical incidents." -- Green Man Review "...well-written and overflowing with imagination...." -- Bookgasm "Tim Powers is a genius." --Algis Budrys, author, The Death Machine "Doing what Powers does best, by interspersing a dozen plot lines and characters with a bucket-load of paranormal and tying them up perfectly, he has conjured a tale that could be taken from the history books and taught as fact, and no one would even bother to challenge it.
