Description: Praise for Caitlin Sweet "These books infuse the myth of Theseus with the haunted complexities of a labyrinth, made the more unsettling by Sweet's sensuous prose. The Flame in the Maze is a book of both horror and beauty, conveying each with equal, delicate precision." --Ilana C. Myer, author of Last Song Before Night "Caitlin Sweet's shimmering prose, already apparent in her debut novel A Telling of Stars , reaches new heights in The Pattern Scars , which is so replete with luminous images and an evocative atmosphere that even now, a week later, these sensations still haunt my memory as if they had been real, a country I visited and would return to again. It should have been a relief to awaken from The Pattern Scars , after all its horrors. Yet the richness of the world, the complexity of the main character, and the intensity of her tragedy evoke memories that linger for a long time. It is the rare reader who could read this book and be unaffected--or unscathed." -- The Huffington Post "[Sweet writes] a world with so much possibility and so much beauty, woven with an adept style that really does convince [me] that Caitlin Sweet is a formidable new talent." -- SF Site
