Reviews

"Cyprus creates two appealing and independent female protagonists; their mirrored worlds are a fresh alternative to familiar medieval Europe-esque fantasylands. A story that will inspire many to find the light within." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Enchantment, plot twists, and the realization that what you see is not always what you get, make this debut novel inviting and fun. Give this to readers who love to cheer for the underdog!" -- Booklist (starred review)

"Those searching for a new fantasy may want to give this one a try." -- School Library Journal
