Reviews
“[A] cheeky lesbian stoner fantasy . . . This is gallows humor with a light touch.”—The New York Times Book Review
“Witty, warmhearted, frequently gorgeous, and an awful lot of fun.”—NPR
“Lana Baker is a scoundrel and a layabout, and I adore her.”—Emporia Gazette
“High Times is funny, literally outlandish, and deeply relevant. A dazzling world, a terrifying predicament, and a lot of hallucinogenic drugs combine in an unlikely, engaging tale of friendship, wit, heroism, and romance.”—Malka Older
“Hilarious, and at times hallucinogenic, Kelly Robson’s High Times in Low Parliament lives up to its title. This book could flirt the knickers off a nun—or a politician—or a wicked fairy—then swagger back to snuggle us before our pillows grew cold.”—C.S.E. Cooney
“A great read, with all the right ingredients!”—Ellen Kushner
“A satirical send-up of politicians and bureaucrats wrapped in a story of queer love and female friendship, sprinkled with fairy dust . . . Readers who like their political fantasies and power trips to go down with a spoonful of sugar will eat this up.”—Library Journal
“Robson’s story, like Lana, is a tease, fascinating and clever . . . The political satire is sharp though, in this lighthearted romp.”—Booklist
“Robson’s fans will enjoy this easygoing perspective on a politically charged fairy tale world.”—Publisher’s Weekly
“High Times in the Low Parliament is, at its best, demented fun and shrewd satire . . . Robson has introduced us to a thoroughly engaging rogue in Lana, along with an appealingly grumpy fairy who comes to learn that humans might, after all, be worth saving from themselves. It’s a pair we wouldn’t mind visiting again.”—Locus
