“I can guarantee you won't regret venturing into Sarah Zettel's world." --Sara Douglass on Sarah Zettel

“Characters leap off the page with heart-wrenching emotions and daring choices. Zettel’s world-building continues to be faultless, blending Chinese, Indian and Russian folklore and magic into a cohesive and compelling whole. This is the touching tale of a mother’s love, a journey of self-discovery and an enthralling adventure rolled into one.” --Romantic Times on The Firebird’s Vengeance

“A finely drawn portrait of a strong woman’s devotion to those who love her.” --Library Journal on The Firebird’s Vengeance

“Zettel has enjoyed creating this multi-layered world, packed with inventive ideas and characters. Detailed descriptions of spell-weaving, gods inhabiting men inhabiting gods (honest) and a vixen goddess make for memorable images. Similarly, scenes of a city burning beneath a shrieking fire-god while its people flee in terror are punchy and vivid.” --SFX on The Firebird’s Vengeance


"Ms. Zettel's confident treatment of her ambitious material shows just how entertaining the "grand tradition of Heinlein and Asimov" can be in sympathetic hands." --Gerald Jonas, The New York Times on Fool’s War
