The Weight of the World: Tom Toner - Softcover

“Splendid, outrageous and brilliant.”
- Shelf-awareness.com

“Toner’s richly layered sequel to 2015’s The Promise of the Child is a sprawling space opera likely to remind readers of complex works such as Gene Wolfe’s Book of the New Sun.”
- Publisher's Weekly

“There's a reason this trilogy has been compared to Wolfe's Book of the New Sun.” - Barnes & Noble

“The real talent of Toner resides in his ability to shift narrative point of views so smoothly. He juggles the sheer multitude of these characters' lives with deliberate efficiency... I recommend this series to those that have enjoyed other complex science fiction books such as The Algebraist by Iain M Banks... just as beautiful the second time around.”
- The Book Bag

“Filled me with awe and wonder... This is a clever, ambitious, inventive, wondrous series, brilliantly executed, that leaves me wanting more and soon. The science fiction novel to beat this year and it most certainly won’t be easy.”

“Immense character development and nonstop action... the author writes his story in a way that makes you think about and savour every little detail.”
- Manhattan Book Review

“A lot of science fiction is a compromise — the authors who are good at intricate tangles of plot aren’t always capable of bringing the depth of characterisation and the lush setting detail, or vice versa. Tom Toner has all three gifts... This is some of the finest space opera I’ve read since Banks.”
