Praise for Angel Mage:
'A splendid high fantasy full of adventure, pistols, swashbuckling, angels and heroes, Angel Mage reads like a stirring opera building towards a dramatic crescendo. At the same time, it also reads a bit like your favourite classic adventure novel. This is a breathtaking story about love and power, obsession and passion. In other words... pure gold!' - Booktopia (Sarah McDuling)
'Nix's complex system of angelic magic, and the toll it takes, is fascinating, and he weaves an exciting adventure full of intrigue and action while portraying women in power in a refreshingly casual way. An original and gripping adventure.' - Kirkus, starred review
'The vivid characters ... jump off the pages. Plenty of embellishments ... enhance the more personal aspects of the story: scary beastlings, brutal battles, and the harnessed power of angelic magic.' - Booklist, starred review
