Description: "Bishop's series opener is a story of fate, truth, and consequences, compelling in its description of a world where humans are not in charge yet still have the hubris to believe they are, and where the wild, the weird, and the wonderful are forces that demand obedience and responsibility, as seen through the eyes of a determined investigator who can see both sides of a seemingly insurmountable divide. . . . Highly recommended for lovers of dark fantasy and weird urban fantasy, especially fans of Bishop's "World of the Others" series."-- Library Journal (starred review) "An entertaining and sometimes brutal tale of magic, mystery, and mischief."-- Publishers Weekly "Bishop's series starter is a satisfying tale of consequences and bargains, both for good and ill, with a central character who works through difficult changes and ultimately lands on her feet."-- Booklist
