A couple of more Masks reviews to note…
First, Masks got a second review in Locus this latest issue. Carolyn Cushman writes (not online),
“Blake…know how to turn out an old-fashioned adventure with just enough of a dystopian edge to feel new again.”
Meanwhile, Dark Faerie Tales gives Masks 4/5 stars…er, ravens, saying:
“Young adult books can sometimes be hit or miss with me, depending on how I feel about the protagonist. Luckily, this book was a big hit. From the first page, it had me hooked…it was still a thrilling ride from beginning to end….it’s not for the faint of heart, but those who are looking for a serious fantasy read set in an interesting and well developed world are in for a treat. I’m very much looking forward to book 2!”
Read the whole thing.
