"An easy five stars. Perfect for fans of Laini Taylor, Leigh Bardugo, Sarah J. Maas, and Cassandra Clare, this book has all the ingredients for rampant obsession."

"This book was truly something special. A book that showed us a glimpse into what it would be like if other worlds existed with our own....This book made me laugh, cry, and angry. My heart was full and broken. All the emotions were poured into every page. The descriptions were beautiful and I truly felt myself in every scene. The author has a unique tone that I couldn’t get enough of. I’ve read this book twice now and I’ve devoured it with love both times."

"A fictional world I could only dream of. What a whirlwind of a fantasy. This is the stuff of dreamers and wild imaginations. A world developed so eloquently and with such vivid description. Characters with storylines so diverse and yet intertwined, and personalities relatable and with purpose. A plot that keeps you wanting to know more time and time again. Just a wonderful book."

"One of the finest fantasy books I have read in a long time. Incredibly well written and with a unique and rich world, Price's land of Ohinyan is a rather special place to visit... With elements of steampunk, reminiscent of Carnival Row, as well richness matching classic fantasy such as the works of Tolkien and C S Lewis, Price weaves a magical, moving and quite magnificent tale."

"I enjoyed this from the beginning and wanted to keep reading after it ended. The main character is a very interesting person with all that she does, and I find her story to be amazing. I cannot wait for book two as this just set a craving for it once I finished with book one. This is an author to watch."
