PRAISE FOR BOOK 1: TWILIGHT HAUNTINGS "Once again, Sage offers intricate worldbuilding, richly evocative settings, nuanced characters (all have flaws and don't always manifest their good intentions), deftly woven plotting, and wry humor. An unmitigated delight." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Sage has built a fully realized world populated by intriguing characters and terrifying monsters. She skillfully builds tension using plot twists that include friendship and betrayal, good intentions and misunderstandings, fearsome attacks and daring escapes, and family dramas of various sorts. Fans of fantasy and adventure will snap this up and eagerly await the sequel. A first purchase." — School Library Journal (starred review) "In this fast-paced fantasy, first in a duology, Sage (the Septimus Heap series) weaves an engaging tale of constant danger and capricious magic. Sage’s world is inventive and weird. Following multiple viewpoints . . . the overlapping, interweaving narrative allows for a panoramic experience with an almost madcap intensity." — Publishers Weekly "[A] miscommunication-driven goose chase [that is] charming, if sometimes frustrating . . . to watch unfold. This duology opener will surely find fans among readers of Sage’s own popular Septimus Heap books, as well as Patrick Carman’s Land of Elyon series." — Booklist "Sage deftly crafts an endearing and familiar fantasy story, expertly characterizing distinct, extreme personalities. Other appeals include the avoidance of genre stereotypes, age-appropriate horror, and wry humor through dramatic irony. Fantasy fans will highly anticipate the next steps in Alex’s journey in the projected sequel of the Enchanter’s Child duology." — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
