Critic Reviews

“"Wonderfully original, instantly captivating, and truly genre-redefining! With riveting prose and a lovable cast of duplicitous schemers, Castle of Lies is the fantasy book I've been dying to read!"--Andrew Shvarts, author of Royal Bastards”

"The well-rounded characters develop and mature, becoming less calculating and more sympathetic as they recognize the faults of people and institutions they'd once idolized. . . . [A] comparable option to those who may be too young for Game of Thrones but are still intrigued by its premise."—The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
