Author Ken Liu’s epic fantasy ‘Grace Of Kings’ goes East Asian with shapeshifting gods


Liu

Imagine bamboo and silk airships that compress and expand their gasbags to change their amount of lift, powered by feathered oars. When illuminated at night, they pulsate and move like jellyfish through an empyrean sea.

Artificial limbs made from intricate wooden mechanisms, powered by flexible ox sinew, influenced by the ‘“wooden ox” of scholar Zhuge Liang from the ancient Chinese classic Romance Of The Three Kingdoms.
