Praise for Sharon Shinn and Royal Airs
Shinn is a master of world-building, plotting, and characterization."--Mary Jo Putney, New York Times bestselling author "Well, when I pick up one of Ms. Shinn's [novels] I can't read just one, because I can't stand to leave the magical world she creates or the multi-faceted characters."--Heroes and Heartbreakers "Readers will be delighted with this return to Shinn's elemental universe...The line of succession for the kingdom of Welce continues to be extraordinarily complicated, which makes for varied, shifting alliances. When it comes to vividly layered characters and detailed world building, Shinn is a master at her craft."--RT Book Reviews
