*"The conclusion promises resurrection, renewal, and long-postponed
love happily resolved, and that should satisfy even the most
meticulous fans."--School Library Journal (starred review)
*"Though readers will be loath to leave this world behind, the
trilogy ends with a sweet buffet of just deserts; the best balm for
the bereft may be to start the series again from the
beginning."--The Bulletin (starred review)
*In the final book of the Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy, Taylor
revives the strong interweaving of reality and fantasy that gave
the first story such cross-genre appeal."--Publishers Weekly,
starred review
"[An] ambitious, gorgeously edgy drama lit up by its coruscating
characters and prose."--Kirkus
"For all the well-made trappings of fantasy and horror, the
patchwork amalgamation of myth and legend, the machinations of
plot, and the colorful menagerie of ensemble characters, this story
remains, at heart, a romance-clear-eyed, tender, and
satisfying."--The Horn Book
"New revelations, characters, multiple love stories, and constant
plot twists and suspense will not disappoint Taylor's many
fans."--Booklist
An Amazon Best Book of the Year
