"A tightly written duology that manages to build a dark, twisty
world, unique magic system and well-written characters ... rich and
fast-paced." --Seattle Times
"[T]he steamy romance that emerges between Elspeth and Ravyn
delights. Fans of Sarah J. Maas, Naomi Novik, and Hannah Whitten
will want to check this out."--Publishers Weekly
"Thick fog, shifting alliances, and clever magic make the perfect
backdrop for a sweeping romance--One Dark Window is enthralling
from beginning to shocking end."--Hannah Whitten, NYT bestselling
author of For the Wolf
"Elspeth's slow-burn romance with a mysterious highwayman adds
depth to the story ... A finely detailed magical system enriches
Gillig's debut; fantasy readers will enjoy."--Library Journal
"One Dark Window is a page-turner. Gillig's lush language is
somewhat reminiscent of Alix E. Harrow's excellent portal fantasy,
The Ten Thousand Doors of January, as well as Robin McKinley's
redolent fairytale retellings such as Spindle's End, Beauty, and
Deerskin ... a richly detailed and decadent world that at once
feels familiar, distinctive, and wistful to the reader."--Chicago
Review of Books
"Readers will be enthralled with Elspeth's--and
Nightmare's--riveting adventure."--Booklist
"Spooky, lush...Gillig executes familiar fantasy romance tropes
with flair."--Paste Magazine
"A beautifully dark fairy tale of blood, rage and bitter choice,
that whisked me away to mist-wreathed woods ripe with romance and
menace"--Davinia Evans, author of Notorious Sorcerer
"One Dark Window is an evocative tale of romance, mystery and
alluring monsters, told in beautifully lush prose. Rachel Gillig
has created a story which left me entranced."--Lyndall Clipstone,
author of Lakesedge
"An enchanting tale with sharp claws and teeth--Gillig's prose will
pull you in and won't let you sleep. Pulse-pounding, darkly
whimsical, and aglow with treacherous magic, One Dark Window is
everything I love in fantasy and more"--Allison Saft, author of A
Far Wilder Magic
