A Publishers Weekly  Spring 2018 Top-Ten  Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror release

A Barnes & Noble Best Science Fiction & Fantasy Book of May 2018

“[10/10 stars] This is luminous writing that enfolds the reader like a spell from the very first page . . . Hold onto your bows and arrows Elflings, we might have an early contender for the best fantasy novel of 2018”
—Starburst

“Springer (James Tiptree Award–winning Larque on the Wing, 1994) weaves this coming-of-age story with themes of magic, love, and loyalty.”
—Booklist

“In The Oddling Prince, Nancy Springer juggles the tropes of fantasy and folklore with skill and wit, exploring kingship, brotherhood, friendship and heroism of many kinds while telling a story that kept me up far too late finding out what was going to happen next to characters I really cared about.”
—Delia Sherman, author of Changeling

“Springer is the author of more than 50 books for children and adults; this one hits the sweet spot between them, a richly written story of two young men finding their true paths.”
—Barnes & Noble

“5/5 stars. I LOVED THIS SO MUCH. It felt a bit like Juliet Marillier’s stories with the peaceful pacing, fae elements, vibrant medieval Celtic setting, and very little violence.”
—A Page with a View

“A beautiful, unique, and gorgeous story that should be read by all ages.”
—Pass Me That Book

“The Oddling Prince is fantasy at its best. Lyrical prose, memorable characters, and a haunting story bring to life the never-was worlds of Calidon and Otherland. Filled with magic, fabulous horses, swordplay, and treachery—at its core, The Oddling Prince is about the power of love. This skillfully wrought novel reminds readers of why Nancy Springer is one of our top fantasy writers. A must-read book!”
—Vonnie Winslow Crist, author of The Enchanted Dagger

 “What a thrilling yarn! Fast-moving, full of surprises, and yet infinitely satisfying. Every time you think you know what's going to happen Springer pulls a new but perfect rabbit out of the hat. The Oddling Prince is one of those great books that'll be reread over and over again.”
—Brenda W. Clough, author of How Like A God and A Most Dangerous Woman

“In The Oddling Prince, Nancy Springer has written a small, perfect epic, three words I did not think could ever live well together. And yet here it is: romantic, heroic, moving, satisfying—and not an overblown farrago of words. Read it—and believe.”
 —Jane Yolen, author of The Emerald Circus and Sister Light/Sister Dark

 “Lyrical and lovely, The Oddling Prince feels both fresh and like a classic ballad that's been part of the English canon for centuries.”
 —Sarah Beth Durst, award-winning author of the Queens of Renthia series

 “5/5 stars.  This very well could end up being my favorite book of the year.”
—Way Too Fantasy 

“The Oddling Prince is Nancy Springer at her very best. If you don't know her work—which seems most unlikely—The Oddling Prince is the perfect place to start!”
 —Peter S. Beagle, author of Summerlong 

 “Nancy Springer is a treasure.”
—Ellen Kushner, author of Swordspoint

—Brotherly Love 

“There is a sense of a fantasy mashup of Ulysses and the Faerie Queen set in a Victorian romantic version of the Middle Ages . . . There is a very skilled hand at work here.”
—Strange Alliances

“5/5 stars. Highly recommended for fantasy readers of all ages.”
—Confessions of a Book Addict

Praise for Chains of Gold

“Fantasy as its finest.”
—Romantic Times

“Nancy Springer is a writer possessed of a uniquely individual vision. The story in Chains of Gold is borrowed from no one. It has a small, neat scope rare in a book of this genre, and it is a little jewel.”
—Mansfield News Journal

“Springer writes with depth and subtlety; her characters have failings as well as strengths, and the topography is as vivid as the lands of dreams and nightmares. Cerilla is a worthy heroine, her story richly mythic.”
