“Jeffrey Overstreet’s first fantasy,
Auralia’s Colors,
and its heroine’s cloak ofwon-ders take their power from a vision ofart that is auroral, looking to the returnofbeauty, and that intends to restore spirit and mystery to the world. The bookachieves its ends by the creation ofa rich, complex universe and a series ofdra-matic, explosiveevents.” —M

“In
Auralia’sColors,
Overstreet masterfullyextends the borders ofimagination.Whereas so many writers sacrifice characterization for plot or substitute weird-ness for substance, Overstreet does neither.His characters are richly crafted butstill recognizablyhuman and, therefore, inhabitable. This is a wild and intricatetale, a high-octane, full-throttle fantasy. Fasten your seat belts.” —G

“Welcome to the land ofthe fangbear, the muckmoth, and the MidnightSwindler. To a story brimming with lovely literary rewards and a cast ofcharac-ters by turns loathsome and hilarious, winsome and mysterious. It’s not oftenone gets to be present at the birth ofa classic, but
Auralia’s Colors
is that kindofstorytelling. A true delight on so many levels.” —C
