Reviews
“No one writes like Paul Park, and when he turns to magic, the results are magical. A Princess of Roumania is weirder and wilder than any fantasy you’ve read before and even those elements which might have been familiar — a princess, a werewolf, a jewel, a gypsy, magic and murder — are transformed into strangeness. Park’s characters, incidents, and images will stay with you long after you’ve finished this book.” —Karen Joy Fowler on Princess of Roumania
“A Princess of Roumania is at once a vastly ambitious and passionately realized work of art, and immediately appealing in all the ways that the heart-tugging matter of high fantasy ought to be. Park’s Miranda is as brave and questing as a heroine of fantasy should be, and his Baroness Ceaucescu is a fascinating portrait of unstoppable evil that is never more or less than appallingly — even appealingly — human. Every page of this book holds something you couldn’t have imagined and yet that strikes you as supremely right and satisfying. A huge achievement.” —John Crowley on Princess of Roumania
“Complex, elusive, haunting, written in a transparent prose that slips you from one world to another with…ease” —Ursula Le Guin on Princess of Roumania
“I love it! I think it’s wonderful.” —Elizabeth Hand on Princess of Roumania
“A superb new fantasy, the first in what I hope will be many books in a series.” —Ed Greenwood on Princess of Roumania
