Praise for the Kingdom on Fire series:“Is it clear that Cluess adores the Harry Potter series and
Jane Eyre? Yes. So do you. So does everyone. What matters is that her voice is her own. . . .
A Shadow Bright and Burning delivers on the promise of its title. This is a novel that gives off light and heat.”
