Critics Review
-
“Stunningly conceived and exquisitely achieved…History and fantasy blend seamlessly…[and] Brennan’s myriad fantastical creations ring as true as her ear for Elizabethan and faerie dialogue. With intriguing flashbacks to historical events and a cast of deftly drawn characters both real and imagined, Brennan fleshes out the primal conflict of love and honor pitted against raging ambition and lust for power in a glittering age.”
Publishers Weekly (starred review)
-
