What They're Saying
Critics Review
“This is well-written, sensitive on issues such as sexual abuse, and, whether in her tower or the outside world, Ele’s voice and vision of the world will keep readers intrigued.” * Books for Keeps *
”…this is no fantasy book but a clever exploration of how we tell ourselves certain narratives in order to make sense of our world. It’s a book about speaking your truth without shame, coming to terms with your past and giving a voice to those who have been silenced or mistreated.” * Viva Magazine *
