Critics Review
Praise for The Age of Blood and Magic
‘Beautiful, atmospheric, and utterly compelling, The Age of Blood and Magic lingered in my head for a long time after I turned the final page. Hannah Mathewson’s gift for worldbuilding is second to none, and this vampiric tale deserves to be devoured’ —Amy Archer, Sunday Times bestselling author of Nemesis Mine
‘Devilishly clever and deliciously cutthroat, The Age of Blood and Magic is the dark fantasy corporate-intrigue Knives Out of my dreams (or nightmares). Lush, seductive, and truly captivating’ —Francesca May, author of This Vicious Hunger
‘Enchanting, delicious and utterly seductive, Mathewson has crafted a high-stakes family drama you’ll be dying to sink your teeth into…’ —Courtney Smyth, author of The Undetectables
Praise for Hannah Mathewson’s Witherward duology:
‘Mathewson has delivered a dazzling, fantastical adventure where magic awaits you on every page, and nothing is ever quite what it seems. With a magnificent world I’d love to get lost in, intriguing magic, and a wide cast of dynamic characters you can’t help but love, Witherward is a phenomenal and immensely fun debut that will leave readers wanting more’ —Adalyn Grace, author of Belladonna
‘Impressive … rich and intricate world-building evokes a London that is both familiar and unfamiliar. The reader is swept into a world that is sometimes unsettling, sometimes terrifying, but always exciting’ —Jodi Taylor, author of Just One Damned Thing After Another
‘Witherward is catnip for fans of complex characters and delightfully messy worlds. It delivers on a world of intricate factions and intrigue, without ever losing track of the vividly written living, breathing characters that are at the heart of it. This book broke my heart in the best ways’ —A.J. Hackwith, author of The Library of the Unwritten
