Critic reviews
"Brooks shines with her descriptions of La Serenissima, especially with the glitz and glamour of high-class society. It’s a world stemmed from 19th centuryEurope. I love the language of this book, Brooks explains it as a mix between Italian, Venetian and fantasy variations of the two in the glossary. It’s just one aspect that helps you delve deeper into this rich and spectacular world. Votive manages to triumph over Tallow and that’s saying something. Tallow fans are in for a treat. Bring on the next book! Highly recommended for ages 13 and up." (Buzzwords Magazine)
"The second volume in ‘The Curse of the Bond Riders’ trilogy—a historical fantasy set in Renaissance Venice— continues the high standard set by the first book, Tallow. Similar to the ‘Harry Potter’ series, we see the protagonist, Tallow, growing more mature, and this novel deals with more adult issues, including more sexual overtones. Without giving away any plotlines, the first book finished with a cliffhanger, and it has been interesting to see where the author has taken that thread and woven it further into the various plotlines. This is a rich, multi-layered story, with enough depth to keep the reader interested but not too much to cause confusion. There are an abundance of twists and turns, and a quest worthy of some of the classics of fantasy fiction. The references to violence, torture and sex are handled sensitively and are essential to plot and character development, but do make the book more suitable for readers aged 15 and older. (4 stars)" (Australian Bookseller & Publisher)
