Praise for the series

“An enjoyable madcap caper.”
The Guardian

“Hackwith’s plotting, her characters and her scenes are each a delight. This book is as rich as chocolate and as refreshing as sherbet.”
Morning Star

“Hackwith builds her world and characters with loving detail, creating a delightful addition to the corpus of library
based and heaven vs. hell fantasies. This novel and its promised sequels will find a wide audience.”
Publishers Weekly

“Elaborate worldbuilding, poignant and smart characters, and a layered plot… An ode to books, writing, and found families.”
Library Journal (starred review)

“A delightful romp through heaven, hell, and everything in between which reveals itself in layers: an exploration of the nuances of belief, a demonstration of the power of the bonds that connect us, and a love letter to everybody who has ever heard the call of their own story.”
Caitlin Starling, author of “The Luminous Dead”

“A wry, high
flying, heartfelt fantasy, told with sublime prose and sheer joy even at its darkest moments (and there are many). I want this entire series on my shelf yesterday.”
Tyler Hayes, author of “The Imaginary Corpse”

“The only book I’ve ever read that made the writing process look like fun. A delight for readers and writers alike!”
Hugo Award Finalist Elsa Sjunneson
Henry

“It’s fun, creative, some great humour and a solid mystery at its core.”
