Reviews
"The author's penetrating social critique and deeply felt depiction of one woman's struggle for self-determination are balanced by her charming take on classic Regency romance. . . . An expertly concocted mélange of sweet romance and sharp social commentary." -- Kirkus , starred review "Polk's foray into a society of magic and politics places the woman in the secondary role, but neither Beatrice nor Ysbeta will stay in place. Fans of romantic fantasy set in a multicultural world will find this a fascinating read." -- Library Journal , starred review "Polk expertly balances propulsive pacing, a rich multicultural world, and a vivid and subversive cast of characters. Readers will be swept away by this powerful and passionate fantasy." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review "A sleek, beautiful book with a quietly serious heart." -- Amal El-Mohtar in The New York Times " The Midnight Bargain is a marvel of fantasy world-building, full of fascinating details and complex rules that govern the rituals of sorcery and marriage."-- Apple Books Review , "Best Books of October 2020" "This novel is a fast-paced, delightful read full of plot twists, romantic angst, and social justice themes." -- BuzzFeed News "Smart, sexy, and sincere, The Midnight Bargain is an alter-Regency romance with fantastical magic and very real teeth." -- Alix E. Harrow , best-selling author of The Ten Thousand Doors of January "From page one, C. L. Polk displays an elegant mastery of form. The Midnight Bargain is by turns charming and wrenching." -- Mary Robinette Kowal , Hugo Award-winning author of The Calculating Stars "A rich banquet of a novel with vivid details, smart dialogue, and a cleverly unfolding examination of what it means to be denied the destiny you know you are meant for--and how to fight for change." -- Kate Elliott , author of Unconquerable Sun " The Midnight Bargain is a delicious mix of forbidden magic and social ritual, with dangerous secrets, impossible choices, coded grimoires, and stolen kisses dressed up in a sensory feast of fancy carriages and corset stays." -- Melissa Caruso , author of The Tethered Mage "A lush, intensely romantic and intensely political book about love, friendship, freedom and magic." -- Aliette de Bodard , author of Fireheart Tiger "An absolute dream--at once sparkling and romantic, delightfully magical, and deeply thought-provoking." -- H. G. Parry , author of The Unlikely Escape of Uriah Heep "I was utterly charmed. . . . It's the perfect blend of fantasy and romance." -- Kat Howard , award-winning author of An Unkindness of Magicians "A sparkling, incisive, and razor-sharp fantasy of manners.

I stayed up all night to finish this one." -- Ellen Klages , author of The Green Glass Sea, "The author's penetrating social critique and deeply felt depiction of one woman's struggle for self-determination are balanced by her charming take on classic Regency romance....

It's Pride and Prejudice meets Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell , with two brilliant clandestine sorceresses up against the patriarchy!" --Melissa Caruso "A lush, intensely romantic and intensely political book about love, friendship, freedom and magic." --Aliette de Bodard "An absolute dream--at once sparkling and romantic, delightfully magical, and deeply thought-provoking. This book is a fantastical homage not only to the balls and matchmaking and strong-minded heroines of Regency romances, but the questions of gender, class, family obligation and personal ambition that lie at their beating heart." --H. G. Parry "I was utterly charmed.... It's the perfect blend of fantasy and romance." --Kat Howard "Exquisite. Rife with the most delightful tension, impeccably paced, and with an utterly charming cast, this is a beautiful book about forging against societal norms with spectacular magic." --Emily A.

A must read for anyone who loves stories where romance and fantasy meet." --Tasha Suri "Seamlessly blends Regency class issues, subversive intrigue, and fantasy together in a heart-racing seaside romance where everything hangs in the balance.

I loved every intricate inch." --Fran Wilde "World Fantasy Award winner Polk ( Witchmark ) delivers sharp social commentary in this excellent Regency-flavored fantasy....
