Praise for Philippa Ballantine:
"I really enjoy this author's work! She's pretty much on my
must-buy list "
Felicia Day, creator, writer, and star of the web series "The
Guild"
Praise for "Hunter and Fox"
"Ballantine has written a well-imagined novel, challenging in
parts. She does not hold readers' hands through that world but,
rather, trusts her storytelling ability and unfolds her world
little by little as the novel advances."
"Booklist "spotlight on science fiction and fantasy
"Ballantine draws readers into a fascinating new world, peopled by
characters you will genuinely care about. In this first volume of
the Shifted World series, she draws from classic fantasy traditions
but makes them wholly her own . Talyn is a heroine to cheer for and
treasure."
"RT Book Reviews" (4/5 stars: Compelling)
"[A] worthy feat of world-building, with Ballantine cleverly giving
new clothes to old fantasy tropes so that those familiar trappings
(recognizable only under close scrutiny) come across fresh and
wondrous .a recommended read for any fantasy fan."
Miami Herald
"[Ballantine] has more to offer than the usual fantasy author. A
very complex back story is partly revealed in this book, the first
in a multi-volume series, and the characters have more nuance than
in most stories set in pre-industrial worlds with plenty of
magic."
San Jose Mercury News
"Writing in a rich prose style, Philippa Ballantine has created
some memorable characters who must explore who they are and decide
what they can become. It all builds to a wonderful cliffhanger
ending and I've already ordered my copy of the next in the
series."
