“This feels like a fantasy. The tone is almost musical. It’s slow and soft, and lends itself very well to the slow-burn romance” – Trans Book Reviews 7/10 stars 

“With each new twist of plot or vivid description, the author infuses the tale with such enchantment and age that it acquires a feeling of timeless storytelling. You can almost hear the parchment rustle or the faint whisper of an ink brush across the silk of the painting as the tale unfolds on the pages before you.” – Scattered Thoughts Best Novels of 2014
