More Blurbs!

Ivory Apples got a good review from Kirkus: "An absorbing fantasy about the power of art, family secrets -- and obsession."

And a blurb from Jane Yolen: "Ivory Apples is like a set of Russian Matryoshka dolls: stories within stories within stories within stories that keeps you reading all the way to the bottom. I finished in eight hours and now want to read it again. What a charming book in all senses of the word.”

And Jo Walton shares her June reading list on Tor.com and says about Ivory Apples — oh, what the hell, I’m going to quote it all:  “It’s not out until the autumn, but I got an advance reading copy from Tachyon because they like me. Goldstein is a writer I’ve been reading and admiring for decades, but she never seems to have the breakout success that she deserves. She’s doing some of the most exciting and creative things in fantasy, and has been ever since The Dream Years and The Red Magician back in the Eighties. Ivory Apples is a contemporary fantasy about family, a book, muses, creativity and destruction and where they meet. It’s great, I loved it, you will also love it and you should pre-order it now.”

You should check out the whole column, though — she reads a terrific mix of books, and a lot of them sound good.  And even if she doesn't like them, she has interesting things to say.
