"Moreno-Garcia fills her fantastic novel of manners with sumptuous
language...Readers who enjoyed Mary Robinette Kowal's Glamourist
Histories magical Regency series will be particularly enthralled by
the genuine emotions evoked in the course of the unsustainable love
triangle." - Publishers Weekly
"Overflowing with delicious melodrama ... a great fit for fans of
the 18th-century French classic Les Liaisons Dangereuses." -
Library Journal "This elegant tale of hidden desires and misplaced
amour will appeal to fans of historical fantasy." - Booklist "The
Beautiful Ones is an elegantly paced novel that moves its
characters into place with ease, with careful attention paid to
ways a word or a moment can change an entire life." - Book Page
"Many of Moreno-Garcia's characters do terrible, despicable things
to hurt each other and profit personally in this book, but that's
what keeps them and the narrative interesting. It's a slow-burn,
stately novel about the magic of what it means to love, and love
truly." - Tor.com "Readers who enjoy light speculative elements,
historical fantasy, romance, and beautiful prose will find a trove.
Straddling several genres with elegant intelligence, The Beautiful
Ones is both an easy read and a fulfilling one." - Locus "This is
the third novel I read by Silvia Moreno-Garcia and I loved all of
them in different ways: each in a different genre by a chameleon
writer with incredible writing skills." - Kirkus "The Beautiful
Ones is a hauntingly lovely book, romantic and crushing by turns,
touched with magic on every level." - Vancouver Sun "The whole book
is a magnificent tangle of unspoken words and feelings. Nothing is
tepid; everything, even the absence of feelings, is charged with
danger and heartache. " - Strange Horizons "Certain people in the
world of The Beautiful Ones have telekinetic abilities, but while
these abilities do play an important part in the story, this is not
a story of magic unless it's the magic of the human heart." -
FantasyLiterature.com "I never quite knew how the story was going
to play out with betrayal going on, misunderstandings happening and
heartbreak occurring. Overall, I definitely recommend this one." -
