* "Rogerson ably builds this fantasy world through canny details
and contemporary dialogue, allowing for an enjoyable read by
fantasy and non-fantasy readers alike. She also craftily depicts
the power imbalance between Isobel and Rook, offering a refreshing
dynamic in which Isobel often comes out on top. VERDICT A funny,
action-packed, and sweet romance sure to appeal to fans of Holly
Black, Diana Wynne Jones, and Sarah J. Maas."
*School Library Journal, starred review*
* "Rogerson turns forbidden love into fresh adventure with danger,
chases, a glorious ball, and unexpected narrative turns. Readers
will delight in her interpretation of classic fairy themes and
lore, and in the humor laced into the story...An ideal pick for
fans of Holly Black, Maggie Stiefvater, and Laini Taylor."
*Publishers Weekly, starred review*

heroics and romance."

"Rogerson’s deft way with words and world building lifts tension
and interest to a high point. An excellent choice for fans of Holly
Black and Neil Gaiman."
*Booklist online exclusive*
"Rogerson draws on fairy lore while changing myriad details to suit
her story, and in Isobel she provides a strong, confident heroine
who may lose her heart but never her head. No glamour is needed to
make readers fall for this one."
*Kirkus Reviews*
"This fabulous, flowing read will engage readers quickly and many
will not be able to put it down. The forbidden, romantic tension,
fast-paced action sequences, and engaging narrative…will make this
book a first choice."
*VOYA*
"The setting is deftly conveyed through dialogue and character
interactions, thus avoiding any heavy exposition, and Rogerson
keeps a nice balance between the development of Isobel and Rook’s
relationship and the action of the plot. The book’s final clash
between faerie and mortal is thrilling, but the motivations of the
major villain have a touching resonance with Isobel and Rook’s
inescapable reality as mortal and immortal lovers. Fans of
May’s The Falconer (BCCB 6/14) will happily flock to this
tale"
