'A lyrical, poetic writer and a compelling storyteller.' Garth Nix
'A dark, rich, complex setting and plot, just teeming with the kind of prickly, hardened, sly (yet somehow utterly sympathetic) characters more usual in a Dickens or Susanna Clarke novel than children's fantasy. Every unexpected twist and turn brought a new delight or a new terror that dragged me – grinning and fearful – through this excellent, excellent, story.'
'Featured in Angels & Urchins.' Angels & Urchins
'Featured in Parent Talk.' Parent Talk
'Whilst not for the fainthearted, adventurous readers will relish the intensity and jeopardy of Pip’s exploits, which could act as a springboard to more adult fantasy fiction.' Booktrust
