Critics Review
A beautiful tapestry of words, a combination of carefully observed and researched history and a well-thought-out and fascinating system of magic. An absolute delight to read – Genevieve Cogman on A DECLARATION OF THE RIGHTS OF MAGICIANS
A rich, sprawling epic full of history and magic – Alix E. Harrow on A DECLARATION OF THE RIGHTS OF MAGICIANS
Parry gracefully bends genres into a witty, riveting historical fantasy … [a] poetic tale of justice, liberation and dark magic. This is a knockout – PUBLISHERS WEEKLY on A DECLARATION OF THE RIGHTS OF MAGICIANS
Impressively intricate; fans of the magic-and-history of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell will be delighted – Alexandra Rowland on A DECLARATION OF THE RIGHTS OF MAGICIANS
With a first-rate blend of political drama and magic battle-action, Parry manages to inject tension and stakes into a historical drama … The resulting conflict brings the series’ meditations on idealism, the fight for human rights and the necessary limits of institutional power to a head. Absolutely superb – KIRKUS (starred review)
