دانلود کتاب Cinders and Sparrows

★ “Bachmann’s worldbuilding is delightful. The castle is rich with enough ghosts and enchanted staircases to satisfy any fantasy lover, and the cast of characters . . . is well developed and engaging, especially intrepid narrator Zita. A suspenseful romp through an entertainingly witchy world.” –Kirkus (starred review)

“A spellbinding coming-of-age story. The halls of Blackbird Castle may be dark and haunted, but the characters that frequent it are warm and lively. Readers will fly through the pages.” –Soman Chainani, New York Times-bestselling author of The School for Good and Evil series

“Bachmann incorporates magic and atmosphere in this appealing tale of persistence, from the shifting staircases and passageways of Blackbird Castle, to the irresistable feasts Zita devours with Bram and Minnifer. The author also engineers a particularly deft reversal mid-plot that will leave readers at first bewildered and then delighted.” –Horn Book Magazine

“Through enticing details, Bachmann creates a singular, gothic world in which a long-declining class of psychopompic witches defend against the restless dead . . . intricately laid (and mislaid) trails, dreadful creatures, an absorbing atmosphere of escalating tension and paranoia, and moments of delightful magic all make for a memorable adventure.” –Publishers Weekly

“A significant and foreboding mystery . . . Bachmann balances horror, magic, and a coming of age story with aplomb.” –Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
“A fun and fast-paced story with plenty of interesting twists and turns. Classic haunted house elements are used in clever ways and sinister characters lurk in every shadow. Cinders and Sparrows is an ideal introduction to . . . classic gothic stories.” — Geekmom

“Cinders & Sparrows is so perfectly atmospheric and spooky! I loved rooting for Zita as she came into her powers and herself-confidence, all while unpuzzling the many mysteries of her newhome.” –The Southern Bookseller Review

“A wondrous enchantment . . . beautifully written, suspenseful . . . Bachmann is a master of fantasy.” –Buffalo News

“Suspenseful and magical, with a vibrant and witchy world, this compelling novel is perfect for fans of Katherine Arden’s Small Spaces and Diana Wynne Jones’s Howl’s Moving Castle.” —A Mighty Girl
