Reviews
The plot is thoughtful and intricate, the characters skillfully drawn, and the prose as strong and sinuous as a dragon’s tail.
Australian Bookseller+Publisher
Wilkinson’s world convinces with lots of careful calligraphic brush strokes: the feel of a padded vest, the height of a peasant’s roof, the tricks of perspective (both literal and psychological) in the emperor’s garden.
The Age
This is a magnificently written and captivating story.
