Croggon’s latest fantasy tale is just such a book...
Atmospheric throughout, and gripping til the end, with a tension
that never abates, Black Spring is a lyrical masterpiece; a
beautiful piece of literature that evokes as many emotions as the
flawed, incredibly human characters it pays homage to
throughout.
*Publishing Arts Hub*
Cleaving to the sensibility of the original, this love letter to
Wuthering Heights is for fans of genuine Victorian Gothic.
*Kirkus Reviews*
This is one of those books that you can’t wait to get back to
reading and yet you don’t want it to end. A highly satisfying read
and one that I can heartily recommend.
*Pass It On*
Readers seeking the warm, solid core of Croggon’s Pellinor series
won’t find it—Damek and Lina’s quasi-incestuous love is unbalanced
and punishing—but Brontë devotees will swoon.
*Kirkus*
All of this conspires to produce an atmosphere dripping with gothic
touches and a darkly captivating tale of heartbreaking, destructive
passion.
