What the critics say
"Using multiple narrators and expertly concocted cliffhangers, Pullman crafts a thrilling page-turner. This gothic farce features young orphans, evil schemers, a gloomy Swiss castle, a long-lost heir, stalwart lads, capable women, a con man on the lam, hilariously bumbling police officers, and Zamiel: the Prince of the Mountains, the Demon Huntsman.... It's whirlwind plotting, manipulated into a pulsing tale of darkened hearts, treachery, and at long last, redemption." (Kirkus Reviews)
"In this deliciously gothic thriller there are enough demon huntsmen, evil guardians, and brooding castles to please even the most desensitized reader." (School Library Journal, starred)
"A welcome diversion...[that is] dashing, sparkling, and wildly over the top." (Publishers Weekly, starred)
