Reviews

A fascinating and finely written exploration of the human and the alien.
Brilliantly written; an excellent book that I struggled to put down.Hidden Sundraws you into a strange and evocative world, both alien and oddly familiar. Compelling characters, intrigue and weird science there are few authors capableof writing science fantasy this well.
Extraordinary world-building, with a hardcore, violent poetry to the writing. Jaine Fenn continues to be a star of new fantasy.
A great talent. One of the most original voices in contemporary fantasy.
"Jaine Fenn deserves to be at the top table of British SFF."
"Fenn has created a fascinating world. I hope to see more of her work."
