Reviews
“An enchanting mixture of mystery, romance, magic, and murder.” —Delia Sherman, author of Changeling
“Lively, suspenseful, and–best of all–skilfully written. Readers will be eager for the next instalment.” —Juliet Marillier, author of Daughter of the Forest
“Lackey and Edghill know how to spin a yarn, immediately pulling the reader into Spirit’s mourning psyche as well as the fast-paced action of the mystery, mixing marvelous elements of fairy tales and mythology into both the plot and references in the students’ Magical History class.. there’s also a touch of romance, and readers who appreciate everything from X Men to Harry Potter will be begging for the sequel.” —Booklist
“A competently crafted fantasy that should satisfy all but the most exacting fans of the genre.” —Kirkus
“A great read for those who love contemporary fantasy or want a more urban version of a magical boarding school.” —The Sacramento Bee Book Review
