Stephanie Lincoln Why Stephanie loves this book

I saw that this book was a part of a 3 book series, so I checked out book 1 and boy was I happy I did! I felt like it got a bot of a slow start, there were an overwhleming amount of characters, so it took awhile to "get to know them". I found the various story lines of the various characters engaging and I got very invested in the characters, even the villians! I think a reflection of a good story writer is one that is realistic about their characters. You can love the protagonist, but also not love some things about them. Same with the villians, you find yourself routing for them in a way. And, wow, what an ending! I did not see it coming and it made me so eager to begin the 2nd book to find out what happens after a huge plot twist…

WINNER OF THE 2024 PHILIP K. DICK AWARD 

"These Burning Stars pulls off one of the most brazen, gasp-inducing reveals I’ve experienced in an age." –Esquire

Corry L. Lee Why Corry loves this book

I’m a sucker for fantasy that explores class struggles and industrialization in a way that’s deeply tied into the story's fantastical world. A Market of Dreams and Destiny triumphs at this as the backdrop for a wonderfully human tale of ambition and love. Both the main characters are underdogs - one in magical society, one in a Victorian-ish mundane society. What a delight to root for the factory worker and slave to outwit the rich and powerful. I gobbled this book up in one day.

What is this book about?

Enter the bazaar of the bizarre where fate and fortunes are for sale in this high-stakes magical adventure across a London not quite like our own, perfect for fans of Neverwhere and The Night Circus.

Below Covent Garden lies the Untermarkt, where anything and everything has a price: a lover's first blush, a month of honesty, a wisp of fortune. As a child, Deri was sold to one of the Market's most powerful merchants. Now, after years of watchful servitude, Deri finally spots a chance to buy not only his freedom but also his place amongst the Market's elite when…
