Reaffirms the passion and ambition that have made North such a consistently intriguing writer -- LOCUS Poetic and imaginative ... A thoroughly engaging and astute read -- SCIFINOW Wholly original and hauntingly beautiful Kirkus A beautiful, if occasionally uncomfortable, read that resists being labeled with any particular genre LIBRARY JOURNAL An exciting voice in contemporary fantasy ... North adroitly sets the scenes and enlivens them with compelling, ironic dialogue, and she keeps the surprises coming until the very end SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
