Seraphina is a quick-paced read, and while the story does pause at times for introspection, it never stalls or grinds to a halt . . . It's a tale well told, the author's writing hitting a real high whenever music is involved. Here, her prose verges on the poetic; beautiful, often haunting, descriptions abound . . . In Seraphina, Rachel Hartman has created a likeable, gutsy heroine, one who isn't flawless or afraid to make mistakes. Starburst magazine
