"Fans of fantasy will enjoy the magical elements, while the subtle commentary of the novel's stratified society lends it a dystopian vibe similar to Veronica Roth's Divergent that will appeal to readers outside of the fantasy genre." -- School Library Journal"An engrossing, complicated fantasy." -- ALA Booklist"An infusion of Asian elements and rich details bring this fantasy world alive." -- Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)Praise for CITY OF A THOUSAND DOLLS: "A strong debut [and] fresh fantasy/mystery crossover. Set in a magically isolated Empire, Forster's well-crafted story and confident prose are rich, packed with small details that immerse readers in her sumptuously imagined world." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)"A fantastical murder mystery with a creative premise, heart-pounding pacing, and characters with secrets to keep." -- Cinda Williams Chima, author of the best-selling Seven Realms series"With fantastic world building and a wonderful heroine, CITY OF A THOUSAND DOLLS intrigued me from the first page." -- Cindy Pon, author of Silver Phoenix"The mystery here is a fine one, and the concept of the City is well-executed. As Nisha must choose between remaining within the cloistered safety of the City or taking her chances with the outside world, her dilemma will be familiar with teens looking toward adulthood." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
