* CBCA Reading Time on A Winter’s Promise *
‘Imagine the poisonous politics of Versailles in a glittering, steampunk world of quill pens, airships, masks, illusions and murderous courtiers.’ * Wall Street Journal on The Mirror Visitor series *
‘Spectacular settings, exquisitely rendered characters.’ * Publishers Weekly (starred review) on The Mirror Visitor series *
‘A compelling and dark story…Riveting.’ * RNZ: Nine to Noon *
‘Disappearance, murder, revolution and birth…This book is dark and and disturbing…An attempt to capture and convey the claustrophobia, fear and anxiety school attendance can generate—and how escape from the world created within its walls can seem impossible.’ * CBCA Reading Time *
‘I thought I’d never read a book that could show exactly what goes on inside the minds of teens. One that could describe the unspoken rules and hierarchy that suffocates secondary schools. Until I read Here and Only Here…These characters are as real as it gets. With the expert words of this writer, I was unable to put the book away. Lyrical sentences and entire chapters are wrapped up in the ever-changing minds of the characters. Small twists and enthralling plot points leave you waiting for more.’ * StoryLinks *
‘Dabos effortlessly combines the mundane with the supernatural to create a vividly unsettling narrative…Both charming and unsettling…Well worth a read.’ * Aurealis *
