Reviews"Beautifully written, well-rounded characters, and some of the most interesting dragons I've read in fantasy for a long while. An impressive debut novel; I can't wait to see what Rachel Hartman writes next."--Christopher Paolini, New York Times bestselling author of Eragon "A book worth hoarding, as glittering and silver-bright as dragon scales, with a heroine who insists on carving herself a place in your mind."--Naomi Novik, New York Times bestselling author of the Temeraire series "Seraphina is strong, complex, talented--she makes mistakes and struggles to trust, with good reason, and she fights to survive in a world that would tear her apart. I love this book!"--Tamora Pierce, New York Times bestselling author "A wonderful mix of thrilling story, fascinating characters, and unique dragonlore. I loved being in Seraphina's world!" --Alison Goodman, New York Times bestselling author of Eon and Eona "Just when you thought there was nothing new to say about dragons, it turns out there is, and plenty! Rachel Hartman's rich invention never fails to impress--and to convince.

Starred Review,Booklist, May 15, 2012: * "Hartman proves dragons are still fascinating in this impressive high fantasy. Equal parts political thriller, murder mystery, bittersweet romance, and coming-of-age story, this is an uncommonly good fantasy... An exciting new series to watch." From the Hardcover edition.
