Reviews

Full of hilarious, lovable characters this is a book you will want to read over and over again

—— The Sunday Times

A wonderfully written adventure story

—— Guardian

[S]heer genius

—— Independent

The Iron Witch has managed to present original ideas in what is a crowded genre, and that's something worth noting. It's perfect for fans of all things magic, fey and urban, or just readers looking for a good story to escape into

—— Wondrous Reads

The Iron Witch is an interesting combination of fairy magic and alchemy, which makes it very different to a lot of the other fairy-centric novels around at the moment. I like fairies, and I like alchemy, so I felt this was likely to be a winning combination for me and I wasn't disappointed

—— The Bookbag

The Iron Witch was a strongly paced narrative situated firmly in an original, well-developed world with an appealingly imperfect character in Donna Underwood. Mahoney manages to create and maintain a two-tiered plot, preserving the integrity of Donna's character and worldview while dropping enough hints to let the reader intuit dark schemes going on out of Donna's sight

—— Magpie Diaries

Bloody, fast paced and adventurous

—— She Loves to Read

It snares your attention, and keeps it

—— Faerie on the Shelf

Sally Green has fully captured me with this new series

—— This Booky Place

A magical adventure that practically explodes off the page

—— Teach Primary
