Reviews:

"Harbour makes love, suffering, and sacrifice the most poignant parts of her worlds, and readers with even the barest knowledge of fairy lore and legends will be pulled deep into this tale of sharp magic and its ruthless children."
Publishers Weekly
 

"Combining the sorcery of The Night Circus with the malefic suspense of The Secret History...a beguiling fusion of love, fantasy, and myth that echoes the imaginative artistry of the works of Neil Gaiman, Cassandra Clare, and Melissa Marr."
Good Books and Good Wine
 

"You might...think of Stephanie Meyers Twilight a time or two, as a few of the storys bones are similar, but I never once felt like I was reading Twilight...which goes to show you tropes need not be poison if woven into a good tale."
