Reviews
There's a whiff of Harry Potter in the witchy conflict--a battle between undeveloped young magical talent and old malevolence--at the heart of this sprightly tale of spells and romance, the second novel from British writer Brackston (The Witch's Daughter, 2011). ...Love of landscape and lyrical writing lend charm, but it's Brackston's full-blooded storytelling that will hook the reader., P. J.Brackston has taken fairytale characters, fleshed them out with real lifeexperiences and human frailties and foibles, dropped them intostorybook-perfect towns, added a whole lot of humour and created a rollickingand entertaining novel. Thoroughly enjoyable., Brackston delivers an intimate paranormal romance that grounds its fantasy in the reality of a 19th century Welsh farm., Brackston's first novel offers well-crafted characters in an absorbing plot and an altogether delicious blend of historical fiction and fantasy., "Dances a fine line between spoof and satire, with a hearty mix of fairy-tale lore thrown in. Larger-than-life characters are balanced with a smart plot that is sure to appeal to fans of Jasper Fforde's "Nursery Crime" series.", Bestseller Brackston (The Witch's Daughter) melds folktale whimsy with a sardonic adult voice in the rollicking first of a new series set in 1776 Bavaria., Clever and cute. Delightfully witty vignettes matched with asolid plot. A real charmer. A wonderful mystery series, something trulydifferent and enjoyable to read., A sensitive, beautifully written account. If the Brontë sisters had penned magical realism, this would have been the result. , Brackstonsets her fairy-tale sequels in the Bavaria of 1776, blending fantasy and whimsywith a touch of satire. Another entertaining outing for those readers who likethe idea of mixing fractured fairy tales with a little mystery., With her first novel, author Paula Brackston conjures up a riveting tale of sorcery and time travel. By mixing feminine heroism with masculine might, Brackston successfully captivates readers with characters Bess, an immortal witch, and sinister dark lord, Gideon... the skill with which Brackston weaves her characters through time makes this a fascinating take on global history.
