Reviews

"A high-flying novel of love and peril-sheer page-turning entertainment that hooked me with its wit from the first sentence."
*Helen Marshall*

"An effervescent blend of revisionist history, fantasy and science fiction."
*The Washington Post*

"As well as being a profound mediation on history and the need to defend democracy, Paris Adrift is also a gorgeous evocation of youth and growing up... a celebration of that particular moment in our lives, when we feel those connections all the more strongly because we know on some level they will come to an end." -- Fantasy Faction
*Fantasy Faction*

"Paris Adrift is a different type of time travel book, one I hope to see more of, and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys Paris, the fear for the future, and traveling into the unknown. Be sure to check out the other stops on the tour!" -- Utopia State of Mind
*Utopia State of Mind*

"Swift (the Osiris Project series) delivers both an unusual take on time travel and solid characters, including a fantastic protagonist."
*Publisher's Weekly*

"Paris Adrift is a really cool book. It's Skins meet time travel." -- British Fantasy Society
*British Fantasy Society*

"Swift's prose is well crafted, and her characters breathe a sort of gap-year-encounters-larger-than-reality hallucinogenic life: vivid, foreign, and faintly exotic to middle-class English girl Hallie."
*Locus*

"A glittering novel of time travel that you'll want to devour like a mille-feuille in one single bite. I loved it."
*Lavie Tidhar*

"A very enjoyable read." -- Fortean Times
