Praise for The Glass Magician "A delicious read--elegant, neat, sprightly, well-defined and likeable characters...I absolutely loved it."--Genevieve Cogman, author of The Invisible Library series "Stevermer has re-imagined New York's gilded age to perfection...pure fantasy and fascinating, a prickly murder mystery, and a bevy of strong women, both young and old. I'm sure there will be a sequel. Well, I hope there will be a sequel. There had better be a sequel!"--Jane Yolen "Sprightly and inventive!"--Elizabeth Bear Praise for Caroline Stevermer "I want to live inside Caroline Stevermer's books. Her characters are clever, courageous, and charming."--Holly Black, New York Times bestselling author "Caroline Stevermer has a wonderfully light touch...a deft and witty interweaving of mystery and magic."--Jo Walton on A Scholar of Magics "Full of wonders. By the end of the first paragraph, I suspected I was in good hands; by the end of the third page, I was sure of it."--Lois McMaster Bujold on A Scholar of Magics "It's a romp! I read straight through, cheering for the plucky servant kids, loving the household magic, and terrified of the curse!"--Tamora Pierce on Magic Below Stairs "Delightful."--The Washington Post on A College of Magics "Stevermer is a worthy follower of Jane Austen for wit, of Dorothy Sayers for suspense and erudition."--Booklist on A Scholar of Magics "Caroline Stevermer does here what she does best: evoking a sense of time and place in the city and the scenes of true magic made my hair stand on end." --Ellen Kushner
