Reviews
"Delivered courtly intrigue in a lushly illustrated fantasy world, with plenty of hints of dark magic, animal familiars, sworn protectors and dark plots, all hooked around a compelling female lead." -Polygon

"The whole thing feels natural and organic... A style that is both soft and crisp with an almost stained glass like quality to it that lends the whole thing a certain etherealness." -NJ.com

"The world here is lush in character and color... Some of the richest, deepest colors I've seen in a book." -The Oregonian
