“These ladies write like a house on fire, delivering fantasy’s most pleasant surprise since Temeraire himself took wing in 2006...An impressive debut.” - SFReviews.net
“Delicious! The characters are unique, entrancing and believable: dinner-party guests you never want to see go home. I will gladly walk again in this city, now that I know my way around.” - Ellen Kushner, author of The Privilege of the Sword
“A dazzling cast memorable characters! Havemercy is a wonderful debut from two talented new authors.” - Lynn Flewelling, author of Shadows Return
“[The authors] vividly convey the testosterone-saturated world of fantasy fighter pilots in this fast-paced debut.” - Publishers Weekly
“By the end, readers will be itching for more… A captivating and satisfying queer fantasy.” - Kirkus Reviews
“Masters of character-driven stories, Jones and Bennett yet again deliver with a foul-mouthed thief, an enchanting fae prince, a headstrong woman, and an ex-Queensguard, to name only a few…Though the dreamy fae-mortal romance doesn't flourish until the latter half, fans of the authors will happily subsist on the story's consistent sharp-witted voice alone.” - Booklist
“Dazzling and creative… This sterling start to a high fantasy series features creative world-building, nuanced and witty characters, good versus evil, a perilous quest, and a touch of romance for both queer and straight characters. Recommended for most fantasy lovers.” - School Library Journal
“Classic YA fantasy tropes break into a fast-paced fantasy revolution whose heart, grit, and consequences are more than the sum of its parts… A smart, stakes-loaded LGBTQ fantasy well worth sticking with, for fans of Six of Crows and Megan Whalen Turner.” - Publishers Weekly
