"McBride's voyage into this full fantasy world brings a different kind of
humor than her Necromancer duology, and it's a worthwhile pivot." - Booklist

"This gender-swapped take on 'Beauty and the Beast' is a snappy blend of old-school fairy tale appeal, with true love and pretty gowns, and modern-day sensibilities in dialogue and plot points." - BCCB

"Earnest and amusing." - Kirkus Reviews
