Perfect for fans of China Mi\u00e9ville, Lev Grossman and Paulo Bacigalupi, this is a strange and wonderful tale of damaged characters forging a revolution against an oppressive government. Alexander Dan Vilhj\u00e1lmsson is a fantastic new voice in the genre that will speak to a new generation of readers.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gollancz announced earlier this year that they have acquired the rights to a new Icelandic fantasy duology by debut author Alexander Dan Vilhj\u00e1lmsson called Shadows of the Short Days.
