The Glass Spare

“Readers will be eager to reenter this world of scheming kings and banished heirs, where nothing is quite as it seems.” — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books (starred review)“If there was a company that offered dangerous vacations inside of books, I would want to go into this one, and travel the skies and seas with its vexing, honorable liars. Wil’s journey dazzles, and DeStefano’s writing entrances. This book is luminous and spiky, like a pocketful of jewels.” — Laini Taylor, New York Times bestselling author of Daughter of Smoke and Bone“Brilliantly crafted, this fantasy will make you believe in magic. Only someone with a heart of stone will be able to turn away from Wil’s story.” — Beth Revis, New York Times bestselling author of Across the Universe and A World Without You“DeStefano has penned a book of exquisite parts—a spiked exterior of brutal magic and a deep core of tender human relationships—that ultimately coalesce into a sharp, scintillating whole. The Glass Spare will leave you wonderstruck.” — Traci Chee, New York Times bestselling author of The Reader“A captivating and well-written fantasy adventure.” — Booklist“Richly imagined…[and] engrossing…A unique, adventurous fantasy.” — School Library Journal“Bursting with intrigue, mystery, [and] danger” — Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)
