The Tensorate Series

By Neon Yang
The Tensorate Series by Neon Yang digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

The Tensorate Series, which has been nominated for the Hugo, Nebula, World Fantasy, Locus, and Lambda Literary Awards, is an incomparable treasure of modern epic fantasy.

Across four novellas, Neon Yang established themself as a fantasist in bold defiance of the limitations of their genre. Available now in a single volume, these four novellas trace the generational decline of an empire and unfurl a world that is rich and strange beyond anything you've dreamed.

In the Tensorate Series you will find: rebellious nonbinary scions of empire, sky-spanning nagas with experimental souls, revolutionary engineers bent on bringing power to the people, pugilist monks, packs of loyal raptors, and much, much more.

The Tensorate Series omnibus contains The Black Tides of Heaven, The Red Threads of Fortune, The Descent of Monsters, and To Ascend to Godhood

At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

“I listened to the audible version. Unfortunately a DNF for me, 3 hours in. The Tensorate Series was recommended to me when I was looking for books without stereotypical gender roles. The story does fulfill that in a way, most noticable in that children are genderless until they are ready to choose their own gender, although once they do so they seem to become a rather stereotypical version of that gender. Homosexuality is shown as normal. So it was a interesting change from old school fantasy book. The story starts by showing the strong and special bond between the twins (main characters) as children. This is the book's strongest part. Then there is a jump to their teenage years, and their relationship has changed. That special bond is gone, nothing is special about their relationship, unimportant that they are twins. Then a jump to the adult years where it is hinted that the relationship with their twin is still very important to them, but it was unconvincing to me. This story has a few things I dislike personally in books, other readers might enjoy them, such as: A conflict relating the choosing of gender, a very short and very forced love triangle, and insta-love. What I managed to finish had it good moments, but ultimately I did not manage to care for the characters nor the story and became bored.”
