This felt a little like the prequel to a historically-set version of the tv show Leverage. Cozy, queer, and bit spicy!

“When you sacrifice others’ children on the alter of your ambition, it’s only a matter of time before you’ll be willing to sacrifice your own.”

Tahir is a masterful storyteller and HEIR is a powerful example of how the best fantasy novels offer  literary escape while meaningfully illustrating essential truths about our own (very real) society and world. 

A must read. It’s not necessary to read the Ember in the Ashes books first to dive into this one, but I bet you’ll want to read them while anxiously awaiting book two!

This book has all the best things about 90s teen romcoms - think She’s All That and 10 Things I Hate About You - plus a smart and funny MC to cheer for and social commentary modern teens will find refreshingly real. Highly recommend! #teamprh

Every book I read from Erin A. Craig absolutely consumes me, becoming the only thing I can think or talk about for days, and her new fantasy - loosely based on Grimm’s “Godfather Death” - is no exception. It’s one of those books that you *can’t stop* reading but also are *dreading finishing* because you’ll have to leave this place and characters you now love and you’re just not ready, even after 400 pages! Dangerously cozy and lushly told, “The Thirteenth Child” is a fall must-read. #teamprh
