Quotes

"Edge-of-the-chair reading, with enemies and betrayal at every turn!"


- Tamora Pierce, author of New York Times bestseller Bloodhound
"Cypess's spare but evocative language built a world that stayed with me long after I finished her story."


- Megan Whalen Turner, author of the Newbery Honor Book, THE THIEF
"Mistwood charms and fascinates and sometimes leaves you breathless as it spins a story about a supernatural heroine, a mysterious forest, court intrigue, and a desperate set of secrets. Leah Cypess's debut novel explores the limits of magic, the price of love, and the cost of being human. My kind of book."


- Sharon Shinn, national bestselling author of Archangel
"Mistwood is a perfect mix of romance, action, intrigue and twists. Isabel struggles to uncover the truth about her shadowed past and I was with her every step of the way. A page turner from beginning to end!"


- Cindy Pon, author of Silver Phoenix
"Intriguing and illusive, Mistwood had me experiencing tortured heroine Isabel's every emotion as she struggled to find her place in life, court, and love. All with an incredibly executed twist that fits like that very last, perfect puzzle piece. A one-sitting novel!"


- Aprilynne Pike, author of national bestseller WINGS
"Mistwood is the stuff of true fairytale: mysterious, unsettling, romantic, surprising. An elegantly executed novel with enough twists to satisfy and a love story of some subtlety. I look forward to more by this author."


- Juliet Marillier, author of Daughter of the Forest
"Intrigue, adventure, and a heroine who is difficult, distant, and absolutely fascinating."


- Sarah Rees Brennan, author of The Demon's Lexicon
"The greatest magic is the power of choice in this lush, romantic debut fantasy. . . . Astonishing and inspiring."


- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Fans of Megan Whalen Turner's 'Attolia' books will be drawn to similar hidden political currents within the court, and fans of Kristin Cashore's Graceling will wholeheartedly embrace Isabel as a reluctant warrior heroine treading in unfamiliar waters of the heart.


- School Library Journal
"An unusual, suspenseful fantasy that is propelled by well-placed clues."


- ALA Booklist
"A fascinating tale of loyalty and love that female teen readers will devour."


- Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)
