'Rich, complex, involving, and hard to put down. Excellent high fantasy' - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
'Nix has created an ingenious, icy world in the throes of chaos. The action charges along at a gallop, imbued with an encompassing sense of looming danger. A page-turner for sure'- ALA Booklist (starred review)
One of the most exciting fantasy series I have encountered in years.' The Bookseller
'Terror, courage, bitterness, love, desperation, and sacrifice all swirl together in an apocalyptic climax that pits both Life and Death together against the destruction of everything ... This one is breathtaking, bittersweet and utterly unforgettable.' Kirkus Reviews

'Passionately exciting, full of intriguing characters and stunning scenery' THE TIMES
'Weaving horror and fantasy into a rich, original story ... a powerful, gripping quest.' THE AGE
