“Straddling several genres with elegant intelligence, The Beautiful Ones is both an easy read and a fulfilling one.” –Locus
“It’s a slow-burn, stately novel about the magic of what it means to love, and love truly.” –Tor.com
“Truly one of the most beautiful books I’ve read in a long time. This sweeping tale of love lost and found is told with old-world elegance and grace with just the right touch of magic.” –M.J. Rose, New York Times bestselling author
“Moreno-Garcia fills her fantastic novel of manners with sumptuous language and plausible romantic complications in a setting that appears to be based on 19th-century France and is lightly garnished with minor magic…Readers who enjoyed Mary Robinette Kowal’s Glamourist Histories magical Regency series will be particularly enthralled by the genuine emotions evoked in the course of the unsustainable love triangle.” –Publishers Weekly
“This elegant tale of hidden desires and misplaced amour will appeal to fans of historical fantasy.” –Booklist
“The talented author of Certain Dark Things and Signal to Noise returns with a novel that is light on fantasy but overflowing with delicious melodrama … a great fit for fans of the 18th-century French classic Les Liaisons Dangereuses.” –Library Journal
