"Imagine a book somewhere between American Gods and Faulkner. In brief: a good book. Absolutely worth your time."
Patrick Rothfuss, New York Times bestselling author
"As raw and bewitching as the music and magic that fuel it. I loved this book for many reasons--the bone-deep mystery, the setting, the music, and the harsh beauty of its characters. It gives a new meaning to well played."
