of a world where reality is up for grabs."-- "Cory Doctorow, New
York Times bestselling author"
"Funny, horrifying, and original."-- "David Wong, New York Times
bestselling author"
"Hawkins has created a fascinating, unusual world in which ordinary
people can learn to wield breathtaking power--and he's also written
a compelling story about love and revenge that never loses sight of
the human emotions at its heart. A wholly original, engrossing,
disturbing, and beautiful book."-- "Kirkus Reviews (starred
review)"
"Narrator Hillary Huber infuses the three main narrators with very
different but, in each case, engaging manners that contrast with
the weird events they find themselves involved in. Huber draws on a
vast store of voices and personalities to vividly portray the
siblings and the many others who come within their sphere of
influence. She maintains a subtle intensity that bursts into
moments of explosive energy. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones
Award."-- "AudioFile"
"The most genuinely original fantasy I've ever read. Hawkins plays
with really, really big ideas and does it with superb invention,
deeply affecting characters, and a smashing climax I did not see
coming."-- "Nancy Kress, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author"
"Vivid...the dialogue sings...you'll spend equal time shuddering
and chortling."-- "Dallas Morning News"
"Wholly original...the work of the newest major talent in
fantasy."-- "Wall Street Journal"
