Reviews
"Ravishing… Combines the dark mythology of fantasy with the delicious social comedy of Jane Austen into a masterpiece of the genre that rivals Tolkien." -Time
"Unquestionably the finest English novel of the fantastic written in the last 70 years.... From beginning to end, a perfect pleasure" -Neil Gaiman
"What kind of magic can make an 800-page novel seem too short? Whatever it is, [Clarke] is possessed by it -USA Today
"Clarke's imagination is prodigious, her pacing is masterly and she knows how to employ dry humor in the service of majesty" -New York Times
"Gorgeous. A terrific, phenomenally ambitious book." -The Onion

Because of the massive footnoting in this novel, and how it ties elements together and explains this alternate world, you really need to read it on paper, where the text and footnotes are presented together on the same page. Unfortunately, the Kindle format just doesn't handle this very well, and it makes for an unpleasant reading experience. It's a shame, too, because this is really a wonderful book; one of my all-time favorites.
