Review:

"By turns courtly, earthy, political, bloody, tragic, romantic and melancholy, Dickinson’s prose is a joy to experience. The imagery is sometimes disturbing or gruesome and may appeal to the more mature reader, to whom I wholeheartedly recommend it" (Inis)

"By no means an easy read, it is immensely rewarding, for older teens or adults with the courage to make the journey" (Kirkus)

"The Fatal Child is a very sophisticated read thematically, and pitched perfectly at the young adult market, but there's enough action and plot for a keen-reading twelve year-old to take a great deal from it. At the same time, there's more than enough depth to make it worth any adult's time. It may even give them pause for thought" (thebookbag.co.uk)
