What They're Saying
Critics Review
** PRAISE FOR ADRIENNE TOOLEY ** The Third Daughter is subtly vicious and achingly tender, with a charming cast and delightful twists to boot. In the queendom of Velle, divinity and royalty clash, romance and intrigue simmer, and betrayals abound-but at the novel’s gentle heart is a story about the healing magic of being known. This is Adrienne Tooley at her most powerful * Allison Saft, New York Times bestselling author of A Far Wilder Magic * Spectacularly emotional and majestically dark, The Third Daughter is a glittering jewel of a novel certain to win over even the most hard-hearted readers * Morgan Rhodes, New York Times bestselling author of the Falling Kingdoms series * Political intrigue and emotional intimacy balance on a knife’s edge, teetering constantly, precariously between the two in this story of sisterhood, love, and duty. Elodie’s journey held me captive in this stunning series starter and I cannot wait to see where she takes me next * Courtney Gould, author of The Dead and the Dark * Emotionally gripping and devastating-I held my breath the whole way. Adrienne Tooley deftly weaves prophecy, mystery and intrigue into a deeply intimate story. I ached with Elodie and Sabine, and I utterly fell in love with this exquisite sapphic fantasy. I’m already yearning for the sequel! * Leslie Vedder, author of The Bone Spindle * Thoughtful, ambitious, and unexpected * Kirkus Reviews * High stakes and a wonderfully developed romance * School Library Journal * This sprawling fantasy features romance and charismatic, take-charge heroines * Publishers Weekly * Great for book clubs … I am looking forward to seeing how these characters develop in the next book, especially after the dramatic plot twist and great cliffhanger ending * ReadingZone *
