Reviews

Richard Lambert has won many plaudits, his excellent latest The Republic of Dreams returns to the double world of Shadow Town. Over in Balthasar, young queen-to-be Tamurlaine discovers a plot against her life. In our world, her friend Toby must stop the villainous Malladain from recruiting more young Dreamers to that nefarious end.
Observer
A thrillingly beautiful fantasy, both epic and intimate, where dreams carry us between worlds, where tree- wolves and half-angels walk at our side, and where the fate of a kingdom hinges on the bonds of family and friends. Deft, delicate, ceaselessly imaginative.
Jonathan Stroud
