I teased this one already, but last week SPR dropped Senior Editor John Staughton’s glowing 5-star treatment of the second book in the Tales of Ciel. Here’s the pull-quote:

“A riveting second installment from Z. Bennett Lorimer. Lorimer’s storytelling shifts smoothly between four different perspectives, and every one of these voices is compelling and entertaining, maintaining an insistent momentum as each chapter builds on the next. The writing is immersive and engaging – each setting and character is richly imagined and vividly described, resulting in an atmosphere that is both fantastical and engagingly believable, and the authenticity of each scene continually raises the stakes. All told, this second installment fully establishes this series as an impressively innovative and entertaining work of fantasy.”
