&ldquo;The author&rsquo;s penetrating social critique and deeply felt depiction of one woman&rsquo;s struggle for self-determination are balanced by her charming take on classic Regency romance&hellip;. An expertly concocted m&eacute;lange of sweet romance and sharp social commentary.&rdquo; &mdash;Kirkus (starred review) &ldquo;Polk&rsquo;s (Witchmark) foray into a society of magic and politics places the woman in the secondary role, but neither Beatrice nor Ysbeta will stay in place. Fans of romantic fantasy set in a multicultural world will find this a fascinating read.&rdquo; &mdash;Library Journal (starred review) &ldquo;Smart, sexy, and sincere, The Midnight Bargain is an alter-Regency romance with fantastical magic and very real teeth.&rdquo; &mdash;Alix E. Harrow &ldquo;From page one, C. L. Polk displays an elegant mastery of form. The Midnight Bargain is by turns charming and wrenching.&rdquo; &mdash;Mary Robinette Kowal&shy; &ldquo;A rich banquet of a novel with vivid details, smart dialogue, and a cleverly unfolding examination of what it means to be denied the destiny you know you are meant for&mdash;and how to fight for change.&rdquo; &mdash;Kate Elliott &ldquo;The Midnight Bargain is a delicious mix of forbidden magic and social ritual, with dangerous secrets, impossible choices, coded grimoires, and stolen kisses dressed up in a sensory feast of fancy carriages and corset stays. It&rsquo;s Pride and Prejudice meets Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, with two brilliant clandestine sorceresses up against the patriarchy!&rdquo; &mdash;Melissa Caruso &ldquo;A lush, intensely romantic and intensely political book about love, friendship, freedom and magic.&rdquo; &mdash;Aliette de Bodard &ldquo;An absolute dream&mdash;at once sparkling and romantic, delightfully magical, and deeply thought-provoking. This book is a fantastical homage not only to the balls and matchmaking and strong-minded heroines of Regency romances, but the questions of gender, class, family obligation and personal ambition that lie at their beating heart.&rdquo; &mdash;H. G. Parry &ldquo;I was utterly charmed.... It&#39;s the perfect blend of fantasy and romance.&rdquo; &mdash;Kat Howard &ldquo;A sparkling, incisive, and razor-sharp fantasy of manners. A must read for anyone who loves stories where romance and fantasy meet.&rdquo; &mdash;Tasha Suri &ldquo;Seamlessly blends Regency class issues, subversive intrigue, and fantasy together in a heart-racing seaside romance where everything hangs in the balance. Polk&#39;s magical elements are so integral to the romantic plot that the two are inextricable, much as all of the characters, from the leads to the seamstresses, now have a firm place in my heart.&#160; I loved every intricate inch.&rdquo; &mdash;Fran Wilde &ldquo;World Fantasy Award winner Polk (Witchmark) delivers sharp social commentary in this excellent Regency-flavored fantasy.... Polk expertly balances propulsive pacing, a rich multicultural world, and a vivid and subversive cast of characters. Readers will be swept away by this powerful and passionate fantasy.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly (starred review) &ldquo;A subversive tale of magic and manners. I stayed up all night to finish this one.&rdquo; &mdash;Ellen Klages
