Reviews

"[A] cheeky lesbian stoner fantasy . . . This is gallows humor with a light touch."--The New York Times Book Review "Witty, warmhearted, frequently gorgeous, and an awful lot of fun."--NPR "Lana Baker is a scoundrel and a layabout, and I adore her."--Emporia Gazette "High Times is funny, literally outlandish, and deeply relevant. A dazzling world, a terrifying predicament, and a lot of hallucinogenic drugs combine in an unlikely, engaging tale of friendship, wit, heroism, and romance."--Malka Older "Hilarious, and at times hallucinogenic, Kelly Robson's High Times in Low Parliament lives up to its title. This book could flirt the knickers off a nun--or a politician--or a wicked fairy--then swagger back to snuggle us before our pillows grew cold."--C.S.E. Cooney "A great read, with all the right ingredients!"--Ellen Kushner "A satirical send-up of politicians and bureaucrats wrapped in a story of queer love and female friendship, sprinkled with fairy dust . . . Readers who like their political fantasies and power trips to go down with a spoonful of sugar will eat this up."--Library Journal "Robson's story, like Lana, is a tease, fascinating and clever . . . The political satire is sharp though, in this lighthearted romp."--Booklist "Robson's fans will enjoy this easygoing perspective on a politically charged fairy tale world."--Publisher's Weekly "High Times in the Low Parliament is, at its best, demented fun and shrewd satire . . . Robson has introduced us to a thoroughly engaging rogue in Lana, along with an appealingly grumpy fairy who comes to learn that humans might, after all, be worth saving from themselves. It's a pair we wouldn't mind visiting again."--Locus
