--Lev Grossman, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Magicians

"A beautifully illustrated and timely story about the importance of having compassion for others as well as oneself."

"This is a beautiful, expansive take on the story of Philonoe, with a touch of Callisto thrown in--I really enjoyed it."
--Natalie Haynes, New York Times bestselling author of Pandora's Jar and Stone Blind
