Amazon.co.uk Review
Unlike the dark godling Azmordis, whose dark pacts and conventions Fern has dreams about, Morgus is a being who knows no limits and understands no rules. She attracts Fern’s attention through a gratuitous act of cruelty, plunging a carelessly offending rich girl into the sort of coma-dream from which she once drew Fern, and by casting the presiding spirits of an old house into the Abyss between worlds.
Siegel has a poetic understanding of power and its costs--Fern and her allies are joined in their fight with Morgus by Lucas, brother to the sleeping Dana, and a man whom Fern feels she has met before. Full of set pieces of genuine beauty and terror--Siegel does Morgus’s giant spider servitor with the same skill that she created a dragon and a unicorn in earlier books. This is an admirable conclusion to an impressive fantasy trilogy.--Roz Kaveney
Review
Praise for Jan Siegel:
Prospero's Children:
'A piece of pure magic – a charming, eccentric and powerfully imaginative work of fantasy which will enchant readers for years to come'
Clive Barker
'A lyrical, captivating first novel of mermaids, magic, lost worlds, and found souls. Once read, this book will not be forgotten'
Terry Brooks
The Dragon-Charmer:
'Lively, erudite and often poetic… as before, she paints her characters and setting deftly, and successfully creates a spooky atmosphere'
Starburst
'Siegel takes the stuff of great children's fantasy and recasts it as a satisfying story for adults. This and its predecessor, Prospero's Children, remind us what fantasy is for'
