Consorts of Heaven (Hidden Empire) - Softcover

Jaine Fenn is the author of Principles of Angels, and has had short stories published in magazines as Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine and On Spec.

"After a solid debut with Principles of Angels, Fenn's second offering is altogether stranger and more ambitious. A beautifully paced quest, a novel that doles out its revelations slowly yet confidently. The characters are well-drawn and believable. There's more than enough here to suggest that British SF has a major new talent in its midst." -- Jonathan Wright SFX "...the mutually dependent relationship between Kerin and the stranger is sensitively drawn, as is the depiction of a society kept in ignorance by a religious elite." -- Eric Brown THE GUARDIAN "it is a book that provides plenty of entertainment. The basic idea and the meshing of the genres works very well and the character development and the way that is accomplished is certainly better than in many such books. The pacing may be a little uneven, but whilst this is a minor annoyance, the aspects of the book that set it apart from many across both genres are ultimately what win out and make this a curious, but worthwhile read." THE BOOKBAG "Consorts of Heaven is an enjoyable novel with a stronger central premise than its predecessor, and the pace of revelation is really well judged by Fenn. I look forward very much to journeying once again in to Jaine Fenn's universe." BOOKGEEKS
