Critics Review
“A spellbinding and inclusive portal fantasy that offers a gritty, modern reimagining of classic tropes.” –School Library Journal, starred review
“Fast-paced and full of juicy conflict, this tale is a great pick for fans of Maguire’s Wicked and Black’s The Folk of the Air series.” –Booklist
“I could not stop reading this thrilling, powerful tale and found myself gasping at every new twist and turn. Not just a retelling–a reimagining Gelphie stans will treasure forever as a modern part of the canon.”
–Taylor Grothe, author of Lethal Kiss and Hollow
“A hopeful tale of belonging and legacy, where finding the strength to fight for yourself and those you love is its own kind of magic.”
–Pascale Lacelle, New York Times bestselling author of Curious Tides
“Forget everything you thought you knew about Oz. A Great and Powerful Tyranny drags you down a twisted yellow brick road and into a world of brutal magic and truly terrifying foes. With a cast of unforgettable characters and sky-high stakes, Carbol spins a modern fairy tale that will keep you guessing until the final page.”
–Andrea Hannah, author of The Wildest Things and Where Darkness Blooms
“In Carbol’s debut, a dark riff on The Wizard of Oz […] [a] hierarchy of witches, sorcerers, and mages and the intricate politics of the six Houses of Eldris add to the story’s complexity, and a simmering queer romance forms a welcome subplot.”
–Kirkus Reviews
