A new favourite! Hemlock & Silver achieves the extraordinary feat of feeling both classic and unique. Masterful storytelling with an unforgettable heroine, creepy magic and a fantastic cat! I almost wish I hadn't read it so I could read it again for the first time! -- Sarah Beth Durst, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>The Spellshop</i> This is T. Kingfisher at her finest. Continuing in her tradition of horror-tinged, fairytale-inspired storytelling, Kingfisher pairs a wonderfully offbeat fantasy narrative with her signature wit, which compares favourably with the likes of Terry Pratchett. It's impossible not to root for our clever, unapologetically bumbling protagonist, Healer Anja. Hemlock & Silver is as delightful as it is impressive -- Heather Fawcett, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Fairies</i> Eerie and aching, I've loved everything that Kingfisher has written but this might be my favourite -- Cassandra Khaw, bestselling author of <i>Nothing But Blackened Teeth</i> Hemlock & Silver is T. Kingfisher at her best - clever, romantic and a hell of a good time -- Hannah Whitten, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>For the Wolf</i> Kingfisher never fails to dazzle -- Peter S. Beagle, Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Award-winning author of <i>The Last Unicorn</i> Kingfisher’s fairyland is full of teeth, wonder and horror; what’s dark is very dark, but what’s good will give you warmth. By the last page, my heart was mended -- <i>NPR</i> T. Kingfisher’s delicate, bittersweet style of fantasy is like nothing else on shelves at the moment . . . a perfect blend of sharp-edged humour and horror-tinged heart -- <i>Paste</i>
