Description: Praise for the Amberlough Dossier Amberlough selected Nebula finalist for Best Novel & Lambda Literary Award Finalist for Best SFFH Novel For Amnesty : "Set in a vibrant Art Deco milieu, Donnelly''s characters smoke, drink, meet clandestinely, scheme, and doublecross, trying to make the best of circumstances that require a series of unenviable compromises. Amnesty attempts, after systematically stripping away all its characters'' pretenses, to answer the question: Can spies ever really come in from the cold? A fitting finale for the series; the experience of reading it is somewhat like watching an elegant train wreck in progress and wondering if there will be any survivors." -- Booklist "A triumph of craft.... Amnesty pulls off an emotionally satisfying conclusion, one that feels informed by what came before without feeling inevitable. At the end, it reaches for the hope that people can do better, at least in small ways--can learn from their choices. As the capstone of a trilogy, it works, and works well." -- Tor.com "It''s always a bit sad when a series you love comes to an end. It''s hard to say goodbye to the characters you''ve formed a bond with, and a good ending will leave you nostalgic for the world as a whole. And in my opinion, Amnesty is a good ending to the Amberlough Dossier." -- The Fantasy Inn "A fitting end to Donnelly''s glittering extravagant world. Again, Donnelly spins her story with great elan: the description is fine-tuned as is her characters. Worthy and well-written." --The Nameless Zine "Signature elegant and emotive prose and magnificent characters....Amnesty was a fantastic conclusion to the glamorous and devastating Amberlough Dossier. This is one of my favourite series, these characters stay with you long after you put the books down. For vintage spy glam, chaotic disaster gays and high stakes, pick up the Amberlough Dossier and be prepared to be swept away."-- Wild Heart Reads For Armistice : "Bracing [and from their choices.

Offer it to adventurous Le Carr fans: readers in search of espionage and political intrigue--with a dash of romance--against a distinctive backdrop." -- Booklist "Donnelly returns readers to the world of Amberlough (2017) in this sequel, in which the fallout of a fascist regime''s triumph continues to haunt those who escaped it...or who thought they had. Readers who enjoy luxuriating in the book''s rich prose, sharp dialogue, and detailed interpersonal histories." -- Kirkus Reviews "Various rumors, rescues, and releases coincide toward the book''s end -- always believably, always unpredictably, and always in a superbly written, Art Deco-inspired atmosphere of louche extravagance." --The Seattle Review of Books "Donnelly''s use of language and wit made this book a delight to read." --Lightspeed magazine "Where Amberlough spiralled down into tight, claustrophobic tragedy, Armistice opens up with the promise of change. It teases with the idea that personal happiness is possible for its protagonists, and the idea that a fascist regime may be opposed--may not, after all, last forever. That makes Armistice a rather easier book to read than Amberlough: less harrowing and less tragic in the Shakespearean sense. It doesn''t hurt than Donnelly paces her twists and revelations very well, creating a remarkably smooth narrative experience. Armistice is a damn good book." --Tor.com "Donnelly is attempting to reimagine the spy novel free of heteronormative, patriarchal, Eurocentric restrictions. The result is highly entertaining and also contains a number of uncomfortable parallels to modern-day political shifts, offering a clear sense of just what is at stake if totalitarianism masked as moral rectitude is allowed to prevail." -- Historical Novel Society "Lara Elena Donnelly''s...attention to detail grounds her characters, giving them a rich specificity... Donnelly excels at complicated relationships, which provide her characters with real pathos as readers watch them struggle against society and their own expectations. ARMISTICE sta
