* " This follow-up to Borderline keeps the emotional punches from
Baker's resilient protagonist coming."-- "Library Journal, on
PHANTOM PAINS"
* "Everything readers think they know about both worlds will be
upended by this enthralling installment."-- "Publishers Weekly,
STARRED REVIEW, on PHANTOM PAINS"
* "Nebula-nominee Baker delivers an emotional knockout punch in the
wrenching third Arcadia Project novel...Baker's richly detailed
worldbuilding intersects with powerful storytelling to keep readers
hooked. The tear-jerking conclusion is a fitting wrap-up to the
series, but readers will still hope for more Millie stories to
come."-- "Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW"
"Borderline [is] a strange, fast-paced, and surprisingly dark tale
about magic, madness and mystique...Despite the engaging plot,
Millie's character, and the complexities in the characters around
her made the book a real page-turner for me...Immensely riveting,
with unexpected influxes of depth."-- "MuggleNet.com, on
BORDERLINE"
"Baker's consistent, caring integration of the realities of
disability into the narrative, makes Borderline one of the most
purely respectful portrayals of people with disabilities that I've
ever had the pleasure of reading, and that in turn makes it an
excellent launch to a very promising urban fantasy series."--
"Publishers Weekly STAFF PICK, on BORDERLINE"
"Baker's prose is a liquid line with light in it, that you can't
tell is gasoline until she touches it with a match.... Phantom
Pains succeeds in being both seamlessly connected to Borderline and
utterly its own ambitious project. I was constantly aware of being
impressed with it while being absorbed by it - and I ended up
loving it more than Borderline, which is saying something."--
"Lightspeed Magazine, on PHANTOM PAINS"
"Mishell Baker's new Arcadia Project series is off to a thrilling
and glamorous start with Borderline...Baker has given her audience
urban fantasy at its finest--visceral and real in its sense of
space, and dancing on the uncanny edges of our vision...Borderline
is dark and creeping and smart as a whip."-- "Tor.com, on
BORDERLINE"
"Mixing humor with serious action, the final volume of Baker's
trilogy (Borderline; Phantom Pains) wraps up a layered story line
with a satisfying imperfect ending."-- "Library Journal"
"Borderline is worldbuilding at its most original...I loved this
book."--Charlaine Harris, New York Times bestselling author of DEAD
UNTIL DARK, on BORDERLINE
