Praise for The Queens of Innis Lear "Amazing." --Robin McKinley
"The Queens of Innis Lear is a spectacular book. This is a story
about family and love, jealousy and destiny, with its roots in the
earth and stretching to the stars. Beautifully written, it's full
of complex characters who will break your heart and heal it again.
An instant favorite, this is a book I'll return to again and
again."--Kat Howard, author of An Unkindness of Magicians
"Gratton takes Shakespeare's Lear to the sharpest, darkest, and
most beautiful edge, perhaps where it should've existed all along."
--Dhonielle Clayton, New York Times bestselling author of The
Belles "I adore this--rich, epic, blood-soaked--a glorious and
grand sweeping fantasy." --Kate Elliott, author of The Poisoned
Blade "A gloriously symphonic, thematically rich variation on the
story of the daughters of Lear. The danger of seeking certainty
makes this a tale for our time; the power of truth and mercy makes
it a tale for all times. Prepare to devour every word, for Innis
Lear will consume you." --Karen Lord, author of Redemption in
Indigo
"Messy, beautiful, and dark, darker than Shakespeare could have
dreamed." --E. K. Johnston, author of Star Wars: Ahsoka "A darkly
rendered epic of old magic, hardened hearts, and complicated
choices"--Booklist, starred review "Enthralling."--Publishers
Weekly
"Engrossing and magical adult debut."--Library Journal "A welcome
sight in the genre." --Kirkus Reviews
"[An] extraordinary and epic tale of family tragedy."-- RT
