Critic Reviews

With insightful and skillful writing, Lam vividly draws a tale like no other Sarah Rees Brennan, bestselling author of Long Live Evil and In Other Lands
Took me to an exotic and detailed world, peopled by characters that I'd love to be friends with . . . and some I'd never want to cross paths with Robin Hobb, New York Times bestselling author of Fool's Assassin
Set in a vividly imagined world with wonderful steampunk touches, Pantomime is a fable-like story as beautifully unique as its main character Malinda Lo, author of Ash
Lam has created a world which will take your breath away, and characters you will never want to leave. Enchanting Lou Morgan, author of Blood and Feathers
Welcome to a world of shills and showmen, fading tech and circus freaks, where nothing and no-one is what it appears. An absorbing, accomplished debut Elspeth Cooper, author of Trinity Rising
A lyrical, stunningly written debut novel, which set my heart racing with every lift of the trapeze. In Micah we have one of the most original - and likeable - protagonists I've read in a long time. An author to watch, without a doubt Amy McCulloch, author of Breathless
Who hasn't dreamed off running off and joining the circus? Lam's Micah does just that, discovering a world of clowns and acrobats, con men and tricksters, corruption and incompetent doctors . . . I look forward to more from this author Brian Katcher, author of Almost Perfect
Pantomime has long been one of my favorite queer reads that showed me how books could challenge the world's narrative. In this author's edition, Micah Grey shines on center stage with a twisting plot encased in stunning worldbuilding. Do not miss this series! Linden A. Lewis, author of The First Sister
