Reviews

In Sebastian's fairy tale world of royalty, power, and magic, the duplicitous but no less championable princesses engage in enough surprise twists, romantic entanglements, and dicey predicaments to keep readers entertained * Publishers weekly *
Enchanting . . . filled with captivating court intrigue and espionage * Kirkus *
Sebastian excels at world building . . . [and] a few tantalizing open threads certainly warrant interest in the future two volumes in this trilogy * The Bulletin *
Seething with rebels, assassins and second agendas operating under the guise of a diplomatic mission. A rewarding slow-burner, Castles in Their Bones sets out as a wonderful echo of Game of Thrones * Armadillo Magazine *
This is a thrilling novel packed with political intrigue, ruthless twists and scheming sisters - the very best elements of YA fantasy * Culturefly *
A page-turner that brilliantly blends magic, romance, and adventure. A twist ending leaves readers reeling but ready for the second installment in the planned trilogy * Booklist *
