“Barker weaves together classic fantasy and romantic elements (including shout-outs to Pride and Prejudice and hints of Wuthering Heights) to produce a well-rounded, smooth, and subtle tale.”
— Publishers Weekly
“This dark fairy tale has plenty of curb appeal for a wide range of fantasy, time-travel, and alternate-reality fans.”
— Booklist
