"With
Nettle & Bone, T. Kingfisher solidifies her place as natural and inevitable heir to the greats of her genre, while remaining clearly and unquestionably a unique voice in fantasy. This book is a modern classic and belongs alongside
The Last Unicorn and
Spinning Silver on your shelf."--Seanan McGuire
"This book is so exciting, deeply wise, sad, brutal and compassionate all at once. And beautifully written, with a plot as cunning as fine embroidery. . . . When I finished I could hardly bear to tear myself away from this eerie, vivid world, with its struggling, flawed, wonderful characters."--Catriona Ward, author of
Last House on Needless Street"
Nettle & Bone is what happens when the overlooked bit players of classic fantasy somehow wind up on the main quest. It's funny, frightening, and full of heart; I loved it."--Alix E. Harrow, author of
The Ten Thousand Doors of January"Refreshing, earnest, and deeply satisfying. I devoured it. "--Sarah Gailey, author of
Magic for Liars
"Somehow, Kingfisher writes stories that put you at your ease and make you want to crawl out of your skin at the same time. I loved the way this horrified me--and, in the end, gave me hope. Marra's journey is a memorable and entertaining one filled with bone dogs, demon chickens, godmothers, and conversations with the dead."--Kevin Hearne,
New York Times bestselling author of the Iron Druid Chronicles
"Witty, sparkling tale of a heroine's quest, full of matter-of-fact magic, impossible tasks, and a group of fantastic and charming companions. A delight throughout."--Louisa Morgan, author of
A Secret History of Witches
