“A fascinating, difficult character, Green lives in a remarkable world, in which gods walk the earth, and not all people are human. Lake’s world-building is stellar.” —Booklist on Green

“The richness of [Lake’s] rendering of urban life as tapestry is genuinely irresistible.” —John Clute, Washington Post Book World, on Green

“Running with Green over the city’s gilded rooftops, plunging through sewers with her to confront a skinless avatar of the God of Pain, readers will feel the exhilaration of freedom deeply prized, unceasingly sought, and hard-won.” —Seattle Times (Tiptree Award-winning author Nisi Shawl) on Green
