"""The Raven Scholar is a labyrinth of a book--vast and intricate, full of fiendish twists and clever traps--with a deeply human heart at its center. It's thrilling, romantic, often tragic, and always funny; I'm obsessed."" --Alix E. Harrow, New York Times bestselling author of Starling House ""Engrossing and unputdownable...my favorite read of the year. A conflagration of court intrigue, religious folktale, and characters with deliciously murky motivations, The Raven Scholar is a pure delight. Fantasy readers will gobble this down and curse the skies that they don't have the sequel yet."" --Bethany Jacobs, Philip K. Dick Award-winning author of These Burning Stars ""The twists and turns of The Raven Scholar left me breathless. Antonia Hodgson drops us into an elaborately built, gorgeously realized world that I couldn't wait to see more of."" --Emery Robin, author of The Stars Undying"
