Review of KNIFE WITCH in Locus Magazine
“It’s a beach read for all us geeks who grew up with a copy of Bulfinch’s Mythology in one hand and a Terry Pratchett novel in the other, with a History Channel documentary on Blackbeard or the PBS’s Power of Myth playing in the background, for company. In fact, this reader would go as far as to assert that Knife Witch is the book for all the readers who felt unseen as they tore their way through Treasure Island, or any of those books, full of adventure and excitement, but which felt squarely tailored for the cis-boys. It’s too clever and too exciting for that (although I fear that having a girl as a narrator, and that it comes from the most venerable SF/F feminist press, will make it less likely to be read by men, an unfortunate miss for those who pass on it). However, the quirky Knife Witch’s fierce independence, her voice, and her responses to the world and the various complications she encounters, is, indeed, a decidedly feminine one.” —Caren Gussoff Sumption, Locus Magazine
It's a fantasy! It's a farce! It's a winner!
