"Plot strands come together just as they should, with delightful triumphs, resolutions, revelations, and come-uppances."

--LOCUS

"Jane Austen may have been a society dragon, but these are real dragons, red of tooth and claw and Jo Walton never lets you forget it. This is the Pride and Prejudice of the dragon world. Have I mentioned how much I love this sly, witty, fast-paced, brilliant little book?"

--JANE YOLEN

"Utterly sui generis…It's a rare book that leaves me wishing it were twice as long, but Tooth and Claw is one such."

--FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION

"A delight. On a basic level, Tooth and Claw works much the same way that Watership Down worked…Highly recommended for anyone who loved the books of Austen, or Heyer (or Laurie Colwin's more contemporary novels, for that matter), and wishes that someone was still writing social comedies that were just as sharp and just as pleasurable."

--KELLY LINK

"Brilliantly riffs on Victorian society, with loyal family servants, prim and proper parsons, and country house parties camoflauging hypocrisy, misogyny, and classism."

--ROMANTIC TIMES

"The pacing is masterful, the characters distinctive, the climax exciting…Definitely one for the Favorites shelf."

--SHERWOOD SMITH

"Books as full of delights and excellent writing as Tooth and Claw are the rarest of prizes."
