Critic reviews

Praise for The Shadow Queen

“A strong romantic fantasy.”—Alternative Worlds

“Anne Bishop does not disappoint. I have not read a book of hers that did not immediately captivate me and draw me immediately back into her world...[She] weaves her spell so well...Her characters seem so real and engaging.”—SF Revu

“Surges with spellcraft and engaging romance.”—Publishers Weekly

“Black Jewel fans won’t want to miss this installment which offers a different look on the realms of the Blood.”—Dear Author

“Superb.”—Specusphere

“In this stand-alone novel set in the evocative Black Jewels world, Bishop tackles surviving various horrors head-on...It’s a difficult subject, but one that Bishop writes about sensitively, with compassion and without blinking or pulling punches.”—RT Book Reviews
