Critics Review
Employing deliberate plotting, intricate worldbuilding, and a plethora of mystical creatures, such as cyborg faeries, Howard keenly examines themes of grief and guilt against an eerie backdrop. * Publishers Weekly *A horror-tinged quest in a crumbling world, filled with evocative, poetic descriptions… . This fantasy-horror-steampunk quest will please readers who love complex language, lush descriptions, and plots as twisty and deceptive as Celtic knots. * SLJ *This modern fairy tale straddles a line somewhere between Christina Rossetti’s Goblin Market and Jim Henson’s Labyrinth. * Kirkus Reviews *Packed with action scenes, detailed world-building, and allusions to other popular media, this will be a crowd-pleaser with avid fantasy readers, likely to appeal to fans of Melissa Marr and Holly Black. * BCCB *
