Reviews
“Horn’s rich characterizations and setting, sparkling magic, and creepy villains bolster the narrative, and his focus on women as major players is particularly refreshing.”
-Publishers Weekly
“Palpable descriptions of magic both enchant and disturb… Horn expertly weaves disparate story lines into a breathless, enthralling ending.”
-Booklist
“…Horn’s characters are terrific, and the superb worldbuilding is buttressed by scenes both wondrous and terrifying; the opening sequence… is bone-chilling. ”
-Publishers Weekly
