"To write about magic, it helps if you write like an angel-like, in fact, Maggie Stiefvater, who conjures up an America where dreams really do come true and awful consequences play out with pin-sharp clarity."The Daily Mail
"This new series, somewhat astonishingly for a story this layered, exists independently of its predecessor. It's a different beast entirely, one that circles the complexities of family and the joys and terrors of creating. For all that is new, however, Ronan remains the same; a lodestar that old readers will be happy to return to and new ones glad (if nervous) to discover.”Booklist, starred review
"Stiefvater is a master at creating worlds that are believable, yet unbelievably intricate, and she accomplishes this again with this title… The book becomes difficult to put down as the reader waits to discover the fate of the world. Fans of Stievater’s other books will be excited to start this new series where one can marvel at the very complicated world she created"School Library Connection
"You are made of dreams, and this world is not for you."
