Praise for ANGEL MAGE: "A unique magical system based on angel
summoning and icons, deft characterization--including male and
female protagonists and LGBTQ representation--and an affectionate
rendering of Dumas's style will delight teen and adult fans of
swashbuckling romance."
--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
A compelling magical romp, both familiar and inventive. These
bookshops would be worth visiting at any time--but they feel like a
special treat while I can't set foot in a real one.--Molly
Templeton, Tor.com
[An] immersive fantasy. Nix builds meta mentions [and] marries fey
elements and spectacular bookshops with booksellers who wield
mystical artifacts, cold steel, and magic. Unflappable Susan and
wonderfully costumed, magically gender-fluid Merlin make for a
fantasy that genre fans, teen or adult, won't want to
miss.--Publishers Weekly
A warm, whimsical delight--The Left-Handed Booksellers of
London is a witty, clever adventure in an exquisitely detailed
world you will love escaping into.--Veronica Roth, #1 New York
Times bestselling author of the Divergent series, Carve the
Mark series, The End and Other Beginnings, and Chosen
Ones
Nix wastes no time getting to the action, throwing readers headlong
into the splendid new world alongside the bewildered but determined
heroine. It's an incredibly diverse, detailed, and . . . Nix puts
in enough twists to make it his own. A remarkable romp through a
fantastical new world.--Booklist
The worldbuilding is exquisite--the broad, immersive world and the
specific rules for types of booksellers maintain a sense of
discovery, and Susan and Merlin, the heroic protagonists, have
vibrant, entertaining personalities (and a realistic romantic
storyline). Readers will beg for more adventures in this
London.
--Kirkus Reviews
"This is my favorite kind of tale, one where the magic and the real
nest together like pages in a book. A delightful read."--V.E.
Schwab, #1 New York Times Bestselling author of the Shades
of Magic series and the Monsters of Verity series
