Critics Review
“With its cast of diverse, well-drawn heroines, colourful world building, and action-packed storyline, FATE OF FLAMES is an immersive and monstrously fun read.”
“With its cast of diverse, well-drawn heroines, colourful world building, and action-packed storyline, FATE OF FLAMES is an immersive and monstrously fun read.” – Elsie Chapman, author of DUALED and DIVIDED
“This series opener has it all: strong females, intrigue, a dash of romance, monsters, and a sequel in the wings.” – Kirkus Reviews
“In a thrilling adventure with echoes of Pacific Rim, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Raughley (Feather Bound) depicts the cost of power, the lure of fame, and the trauma of overwhelming stress in a compelling story with memorably flawed heroines… An engrossing kickoff to the Effigies series.” – Publishers Weekly
“A compelling concept, and the mix of fragility, defiance, strength, and utter exhaustion that plays out in the girls feels authentic… A sequel will likely be eagerly anticipated, as these four together have only begun to find their groove, and it’s clear there are more intriguing and disturbing details about this world to uncover.” – Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
