Reviews
Praise for The Forgotten Beasts of Eld "Rich and regal." New York Times "This is my favorite book of all time. If I had to pick a desert island book, it would be this one." Gail Garriger, New York Times bestselling author of the Parasol Protectorate "There is a magic and grandeur to McKillip's focused prose, a kind of resounding clarity that lives and echoes in the mind long after the story is done." Ben Loory, author of Tales of Falling and Flying and Stories for Nighttime and Some for the Day "With elegant, lyrical prose, Patricia A. McKillip creates a timeless fairytale of love, revenge, and the cost of each. The Forgotten Beasts of Eld is a book I return to, time and again, always finding some new layer to the tale. Like the wondrous beasts within its pages, this book is both beautiful and dangerous; you can't read it without being changed." Kelly Sandoval "Like the Ring trilogy or the Earthsea books . . . This magical moonlit fantasy has dignity and romance, heart-stopping suspense, adventure, richness of concept and language andperhaps rarest of all in romantic fantasya sly sense of humor." Publishers Weekly "Gorgeous, lyrical prose." Guardian "It feels ageless, eternal, light and perfect like a star." SF Site "The best fantasy novel of the year and perhaps of the decade. It's a mythical kingdom fantasy with a marvelous heroine, satisfying strange beasts, and chilling sorcery." Locus "Patricia McKillip weaves an incredibly rich, poetic, wise and mystical story, holding her readers spellbound." St. Louis Dispatch-Post Praise for Patrica A.
