Kirsty Logan's <b>mesmerising and evocative</b> novel represents an imaginative triumph in this new subgenre [of "witch lit"]... There are echoes of everything from the Brothers Grimm to Angela Carter in Logan's deceptively simple storytelling
Observer
Logan builds Lux's world with an eye for striking detail...<b>the images snap and sizzle with portent</b> and possibility
Guardian
One of our national writing treasures<b>,</b> Kirsty Logan's latest tale is a deeply <b>atmospheric</b>, sometimes gory but ultimately <b>uplifting</b>... <b>a story that will hold you tight and not let go</b>
Stylist
An impassioned reclaiming of female desire. Stuffed, Russian-doll like, with stories...<b>an absorbingly atmospheric adventure</b>
Daily Mail
A dark conjuring of a book: angry, powerful, hypnotic, told in <b>prose of dazzling power</b>.
