What Readers and Reviewers are Saying
about Auralia's Colors
CONTINUED...
"Exceptionally well-crafted...
Overstreet paints vividly imagined scenes and develops his characters
and story with thought-provoking insights into human motivations."
- Kristine Wilson, CBA Retailers +
Resources
"Jeffrey Overstreet weaves together a wide
cast of compelling characters and an intriguing story in the setting
of a world both imaginative and arresting —
a world phantastic in both old and new meanings of that
word. Readers will care what happens both to the characters of the
tale (all of them) as well as to the realm of Abascar itself, and will
not want to put this book down."
- Matthew
Dickerson, co-author of From Homer to
Harry Potter: a Handbook of Myth and Fantasy and Ents, Elves,
and Eriador: the Environmental Vision of J.R.R.Tolkien
"Auralia's
Colors and its heroine's cloak of wonders take their power
from a vision of art that is auroral, looking to the return of beauty,
and that intends to restore spirit and and mystery to the world. The
book achieves its ends by the creation of a rich, complex universe and
a series of dramatic, explosive events."
- Marly
Youmans, author of Ingledove and
The Curse of the Raven Mocker
"In Auralia's Colors, Overstreet masterfully extends the
borders of imagination. Whereas so many writers sacrifice
characterization for plot or substitute weirdness for substance,
Overstreet does neither. His characters are richly crafted but still
recognizably human, and therefore, inhabitable. This story is a wild
and intricate tale, a high-octane full-throttle fantasy. Fasten your
seat belts."
- Gina
Ochsner, author of The Necessary Grace to Fall and
People I Wanted to Be
"Jeffrey Overstreet weaves myth and reality, hope and loss into his
tapestry, and he ties off 'The Red Strand'
with a cataclysmic flourish."
- Kathy
Tyers, author of the Firebird trilogy and Shivering World
