The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez

The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez

A goddess trapped in the body of an ageing emperor must be carried across a war-torn empire to her death, escorted by two soldiers who despise the throne they serve, in a story framed as a theatrical performance being watched by an unnamed narrator in the second person.

Jimenez writes in an unusual structure — myth, memory and the audience's own reactions interwoven with the main narrative — and it should not work as well as it does. The result is one of the most formally ambitious fantasy novels published in years, emotionally overwhelming by the final act.

One of the most acclaimed fantasy novels of its year, and unlike anything else on the shelf.
