‘The Oversight is – and let’s be clear here – something very special . . . It’s oh so moreish a morsel. I’d read a prequel this evening, a sequel as soon as.’ – Niall Alexander, Tor.com
‘Told in a kind of compelling and hypnotic poesie that I just lapped up . . . I’ll certainly be reading the next one.’ – Cory Doctorow, BoingBoing.net
‘A highly entertaining fantasy that promises a trilogy worth sinking your teeth into.’ – SciFiNow
‘A remarkable combination of British folklore, brisk pacing and wide-ranging imagination.’ – Kirkus Reviews
‘Richly atmospheric (the evil lurks in the background of every paragraph), the book should be a big hit with supernatural-fantasy readers . . . the second book can’t come soon enough.’ – Booklist (starred review)
