Critics Review
Told with Blake’s signature wit and driven by a cast of morally gray characters you will hate to love and love to hate, Gifted & Talented is equal parts black comedy, sharp indictment of privilege and power, and soaring, vicious drama. Addictively entertaining, this is Blake at the height of her abilities – Ava Reid, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of Lady Macbeth
Incisive, unsparing, and utterly brilliant. Gifted & Talented is a remarkable character study meditating on the consequences of dynasty and power. Olivie Blake’s storytelling has risen to empyrean heights – Chloe Gong, New York Times bestselling author of Immortal Longings
Take the love-to-hate-‘em siblings of Succession, add a dash of The Magicians’ real-world magic, and put it together with Olivie Blake’s stellar sense of humor, and you have Gifted & Talented, a refreshing tale of spoiled-sibling woe, mysterious curses, and family complexity that will absolutely delight you – Veronica Roth, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of When Among Crows
Olivie Blake’s singular narrative voice sparkles in Gifted & Talented – a timely tale of greed, ambition and rivalry which eviscerates the world of wealth and privilege in nimble and terrific style – M. L. Rio, bestselling author of If We Were Villains
Gifted & Talented is a wickedly funny book about perfectly horrible people – and some of them even get what they deserve. Blake’s sly prose and vivid character work bring the dreadful siblings to life, but also give us moments of heart-clenching tenderness. A delight – Emily Tesh, Hugo Award-winning author of Some Desperate Glory
This book is half mystery, half puzzle and wholly a delight – Holly Black, author of Book of Night on The Atlas Six
Compelling, entertaining and addictive. The Atlas Six is academic Darwinism: survival of the smartest with a healthy dose of magic – T. L. Huchu, author of The Library of the Dead
Coolly horrific, brilliantly brainy and utterly compelling – Daily Mail on The Atlas Six
Sign me up for anything she writes – Cosmopolitan
