Charismatic characters and compelling chapter cliffhangers build intrigue throughout.” ― Publishers Weekly "Stunning." ―Bustle "Ushers readers into [its] world." ―PopSugar"Excellent." ―Mugglenet The Winner's Trilogy:"The romance is heart-stoppingly lovely and admittedly steamy . . . but the raising of stakes and the reluctance of the couple to give up their respective causes, even as they confess their love for each other, lends their relationship a complexity not often seen in the genre." ―The Bulletin, starred review“Like any epic page-turner worth its salt, Rutkoski's richly imagined world is full of dynamic repartee, gruesome battle scenes, and shifting alliances. A high-stakes cliffhanger will leave readers eagerly awaiting the next book.” ―Publishers Weekly, starred review“Rich characterization, exquisite worldbuilding and rock-solid storytelling make this a fantasy of unusual intelligence and details and elegant prose make this world fresh and vivid.
