About this title

Review:

"[T]he plot is relentless and the characters likable. . . . [A] classic adolescent journey. For teens already reading adult fantasy but wanting something a bit more on their level, this hits the spot perfectly."
--Kirkus Reviews

"I wouldn't be surprised if exciting new fantasy authors were one day compared to Ari Marmell."
--Fantasy Book Critic

"Marmell has a clever sense of humor."
--SF Signal

"Marmell's debut YA novel is a dark, brutal fantasy set in a complex and engaging world...Widdershins is an intriguing heroine, able to handle herself on the streets, though her naïveté shows at endearing moments. Readers seeking out a strong heroine in a well-crafted fantasy world will enjoy this title and look forward to the second."
--School Library Journal

"Widdershins is not your average heroine. Adept with her blade and her wits, sassy and sensitive, she should appeal to older teens both male and female."
--RT Book Reviews, Three Stars (ENJOYABLE- Pleasant Read)

"An interesting world is created in Thief's Convenant, with many twisting conflicts that converge into one. ...The setting is a very enjoyable city that every fantasy lover would embrace without a thought. All of the characters are lively, and everyone will love Olgun, Widdershin's personal god."
--Sacramento Book Review/ San Francisco Book Review
