Critical Reviews

"This is how fantasy should be done."--Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Rich details illuminate every dimension of an extravagant city flooded with magic, and intriguing personalities evolve into complex characters...between [the characters those] the vivid setting, and the climactic cliffhanger, Schwab already has us anticipating the rest of the series."--Entertainment Weekly, Grade A on A Gathering of Shadows

"Feels like a priceless object, brought from another, better world of fantasy books. Schwab's writing is engaging and vivid...kept me engrossed by its story every bit as much as I was fascinated by its complex, multilayered world." --io9.com on A Darker Shade of Magic

"All the hallmarks of a classic work of fantasy...Schwab has given us a gem of a tale."--Deborah Harkness, New York Times bestselling author of The All Souls trilogy
