Reviews

Joan Aiken is a marvel

—— Philip Pullman , The Guardian

Epic and intense . . . fans of dark history [will be] hooked from the outset. Think Game of Thrones transported to the Ottoman Empire

It's delicious

Fierce and dark . . . A superb offering

—— theyoungfolks.com

Lada – so ugly and mean that readers will adore her – stubbornly rejects gender roles . . . and the characters . . . benefit from complex motivations and an unconventional love triangle. Addictive intrigue

—— Kirkus
