Keturah and Lord Death
Publishers Weekly
"A darkly gorgeous medieval fairy tale. ... A fine achievement."
School Library Journal
"A dark, but uplifting story combining elements of fantasy as well as romance. It has a gripping plot, strong characters, and a surprise ending that will intrigue readers."
Booklist
"The romance is intense, the writing is startling, and the story is spellbinding. ... This novel gets so many things just right. ... Readers will be carried away on the wind of Leavitt's words, and few will be able to guess how she finally ends her story."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"Lord Death, mysterious and gorgeous, and Keturah, brilliant and beautiful, will be irresistible to romance fans as well as those who like a bit of passion woven into their fantasy."
