Critics Review
Beautifully characterised and compellingly plotted, Gilded Cage is an impressive debut – Guardian on Gilded Cage
It’s smart, engrossing and incredibly snappily written, with so many compelling characters and pulse-quickening situations that the whole book just flies by. We apologise for the cliché, but it is that good – SciFiNow on Gilded Cage
A dark and intriguing vision of an alternate, magic-drenched Britain, Gilded Cage kept me way up into the night – Aliette de Bodard
A dazzling addition to the growing genre of alternative historical fiction, James’s first novel has the added bonus of compelling page-turnability – Daily Mail on Gilded Cage
Devious and deliciously dark with lashings of magic, mystery and mayhem, this juggernaut of a book will keep you hanging on by your fingernails until the very last page – Taran Matharu on Gilded Cage
Ms. James writes with the skill of someone who has been an author for decades. I was blown away by how beautiful the prose was … In the end I was left emotionally spent and wanting another book to read immediately – Fantasy Book Review on Gilded Cage
