Kirkus Best Books

Exciting news: *Sorrow's Knot* has made the Best Books of 2013 from the venerable *Kirkus Reviews*.

*Kirkus* has a reputation for being the East German Judge among the big book review journals in the United States, but they loved *Sorrow's Knot*, giving it a star and a review that made both my editor and my mother promise that they didn't write it.

Still, it was a lovely surprise to see *Sorrow's Knot* called out here, and put in such good company. It made the Best Books for Teens overall list, and two of the sublists, for best fantasy and for best coming-of-age novel.
