"I can guarantee you won't regret venturing into Sarah Zettel's
world."
--Sara Douglass on Sarah Zettell
"Characters leap off the page with heart-wrenching emotions and
daring choices. Zettel's world-building continues to be faultless,
blending Chinese, Indian and Russian folklore and magic into a
cohesive and compelling whole. This is the touching tale of a
mother's love, a journey of self-discovery and an enthralling
adventure rolled into one."
--Romantic Times on "The Firebird's Vengeance"
"A finely drawn portrait of a strong woman's devotion to those who
love her."
--Library Journal on" The Firebird's Vengeance"
"Zettel has enjoyed creating this multi-layered world, packed with
inventive ideas and characters. Detailed descriptions of
spell-weaving, gods inhabiting men inhabiting gods (honest) and a
vixen goddess make for memorable images. Similarly, scenes of a
city burning beneath a shrieking fire-god while its people flee in
terror are punchy and vivid."
--SFX on "The Firebird's Vengeance"
"Complicated court intrigue is brought alive in a setting, enriched
by research in Russian folklore and magiclore, for a very cleverly
woven fantasy. A good read indeed."
--Andre Norton on "A Sorcerer's Treason"
"Ms. Zettel's confident treatment of her ambitious material shows
just how entertaining the "grand tradition of Heinlein and Asimov"
can be in sympathetic hands."
--Gerald Jonas, "New York"" Times" on "Fool's War"
