“Readers of Holly Black’s Tithe (2002) or Charles de Lint’s The Blue Girl (2004) will enjoy this rich foray into faerie. The book’s backdrop, so firmly rooted in Celtic myth, is scary, mysterious, magical, and horrifying.” — Booklist
“Ballad is giddy, intoxicating, and threatening all at once. — Tamora Pierce
