"Nix sets the standard for fantasy." - Leigh Bardugo, New York Times bestselling author of The Shadow and Bone trilogy

"A Regency romance with magic. Charming; quite, quite charming." - Gail Carriger, New York Times bestselling author

"Part comedy of manners, part fantasy adventure, this lighthearted romp is ridiculous fun." - Booklist (starred review)

"A delightful romp with dastardly plots and romantic confusions that would do Jane Austen proud. Fans of the author and of fantasy or Regency romance will enjoy this tale immensely." - School Library Journal

"Entertaining." - Kirkus Reviews

"This romance should please the author's regular readers and Georgette Heyer fans alike." - Publishers Weekly

"Austen fans will be drawn to the familiar era and strong, stubborn heroine, and the touch of magic. " - Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)

"It's clear that this was as much a pleasure for Nix to write as it is for readers to read, and there's reveling in arcane language that will delight wannabe Austen-esque teens. Hand this to fans of period Masterpiece Theater sagas." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
