  • "As a friend of Ms. Markley's, I've been able to watch her create and draw various characters throughout the book, and I've been excited to finally be able to purchase and read it. It definitely did not disappoint. Engaging read from beginning to end, the art is fantastic, and I did pick up on 1 or 2 Biblical references that she managed to seamlessly slip in there. Definitely would recommend this book." ★★★★

  • "I love the art!! I read most of it, and what I love especially is that it's mainly in black and white, with little color accents to make certain story elements stand out more, such as the seeds being multi colored. The art is well done, and right when I was thinking about some of the characters' names, most of them were introduced! The pacing is nice, not too slow, I think this works rather well for a YA book. I'm going to buy a few copies in the future so I can donate them to my local libraries. I've worked with Miranda on a few projects, and I want to commend her for not only her artwork, but her storytelling as well. I look forward to the second book!" ★★★★★

  • ”The trailer for this tale says that readers will suffer a side effect of "obsessing over the story," and I can certainly testify to that! By page three, I was deeply engrossed in the telling, and I didn't stop reading until I'd completed the book. And then I read it a second time the next day. Then I reread my favorite parts a few days later. Even though Lacey was spoiled and frequently got on my nerves, I did enjoy following her on her journey and meeting the anthropomorphic creatures that inhabited Lacey's world. When I first started the feature, I got a strong Alice in Wonderland vibe, but as the accounting progressed, the author put her own personal stamp on every page, leaving me breathless and full of wonder and awe. Markley even managed to make me sympathize with the protagonist at the end of the narrative. Aside from Lacey, I really liked the cook, Ms. Hen, and the questionable Jardin brothers, while my favorite character to admire was the beautifully-drawn feline, Mensonge Voleur, the estate steward.” ... ★★★★★

  • I really enjoyed reading it and can't wait to read more! The characters all had unique personalities and had stunning details. The story was engaging while moving at an easy to understand pace. Again, a very enjoyable experience that I would definitely recommend to others. Thank you for giving me the experience to be able to read this on paper, it made it all the more special.
