Recenzje

"Redwine skillfully crafts well-rounded characters and an action-packed plot, resulting in a nuanced political fantasy that's rife with court intrigue. Charis-fierce and formidable, yet altruistic-is exquisitely drawn, and her tender, developing relationship with bodyguard Tal adds emotional complexity to the breathlessly paced tale." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"With a promising opening-featuring a protagonist reminiscent of those in Kristin Cashore's Graceling and Marie Rutkoski's The Winner's Curse-plus a zinger of an ending, this should have no trouble finding an audience. An engaging introduction to a female-forward fantasy world." - Kirkus Reviews

"A real treat to readers with an appetite for intense, carefully maneuvered political conversations conducted while dancing in gorgeous gowns." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"C. J. Redwine has woven a tale of political machinations, devastating plot twists, and the most heartbreakingly delicious slow-burn romance I've read in a very long time. I tore through this book in a day, mourned when I ran out of pages, and flipped right back to the beginning to start again." - Livia Blackburne, New York Times bestselling author of Feather & Flame

"Stand aside, ye softhearted, gentle maidens. Princess Charis is here to kick ass and take names." - Tricia Levenseller, Publisher's Weekly bestselling author of The Shadows Between Us

"Smart, tense, and swiftly paced. This book is absolutely captivating." - Jodi Meadows, author of Nightrender and coauthor of the New York Times bestseller My Lady Jane

"A wildly lush fantasy ruled by a fascinating and ruthless heroine makes this slow-burn romance story pure magic. C. J. Redwine has outdone herself!" - Mary Weber, bestselling author of Storm Siren and To Best the Boys
