Media Reviews

"This is probably the most literal iteration of McGuire's ongoing argument that biology is not destiny. The author can't seem to stay away from transmitting these messages over and over...but she does transmit them beautifully, and some people may need to read them over and over...Possibly preachy, but usefully so, and eloquently expressed." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Hugo and Nebula award–winner McGuire pulls off another hit...McGuire conjures a distinctive, remarkable world to nurture Regan's moving coming-of-age. Series devotees will not want to miss this standalone addition, and anyone who appreciates off-the-beaten-path adventures will be swept away." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"McGuire's inclusive characters are always presented fully formed and without cliché, and her critical takes on femininity in society are balanced with the beauty of the love of biological and found family...The sixth Wayward Children title is a gorgeous standalone. The prose is emotional and moving and will speak to the hearts and minds of readers." - Library Journal

Seanan McGuire

Seanan McGuire is a native Californian, which has resulted in her being exceedingly laid-back about venomous wildlife, and terrified of weather. When not writing urban fantasy (as herself) and science fiction thrillers (as Mira Grant), she likes to watch way too many horror movies, wander around in swamps, record albums of original music, and harass her cats.

Seanan is the author of the October Daye, InCryptid, and the Indexing series of urban fantasies; the Newsflesh trilogy; the Parasitology duology; and the "Velveteen vs." superhero shorts. Her cats, Lilly, Alice, and Thomas, are plotting world domination even as we speak, but are easily distracted by feathers on sticks, so mankind is probably safe. For now. Seanan's favorite things include the X-Men, folklore, and the Black Death. No, seriously. She writes all biographies in the third person, because it's easier that way.
