A Stark and Wormy Knight
Page 33
“Bestseller Williams once again delivers a sweeping spellbinder full of mystical wonder” —Publishers Weekly
TAILCHASER’S SONG
“YA animal epics are popular with YAs, and this one should prove no exception… Fantasy lovers will lose their heart to Tailchaser” —School Library Journal
THE WAR OF THE FLOWERS
“Travel into another dimension is a popular fantasy ploy, but rarely accomplished with such humor, terror and even logic as in this stand-alone by bestseller Williams … Faerie turns out to be a real place. Applecore, a short-tempered, red-haired sprite… continually delights, as in her comment on a famous J.M. Barrie character: ‘`If you believe in fairies, clap your hands’? If you believe in fairies, kiss my rosy pink arse is more like it.’” —Publishers Weekly
“Williams displays a deft hand, creating an addictive world with its own history, mythology, internal rules, and rich, intricate culture. When I found myself reading “The War of the Flowers” while standing at the stove stirring some ramen noodles, I knew I was hooked.” —Salon.com
