A celebration . . . of creativity, ingenuity, endurance, mastery and grace
New York Times
A masterfully written book. Chee, just, is masterful. I loved this novel
Roxane Gay
A more impressive, richly imagined novel I have not read in many years. From its heroine's first entrance, The Queen of the Night grabbed me and kept me rapt as it writhed and contorted its way through love and murder, courtesans and empresses, fates and curses
Financial Times
A night at an opera you'll wish never-ending
Helen Oyeyemi, author of 'Boy, Snow, Bird' and 'Mr. Fox'
A spellbinding story of intrigue and self-reinvention
Buzzfeed
A wild opera of a novel and the perfect summer read: swift, smart, immersive and gorgeous
Guardian
An astonishing universe into which its lucky readers can dissolve completely
Karen Russell, New York Times best-selling author of 'Swamplandia' and 'Vampires in the Lemon Grove'
It just sounds terrific. It sounds like opera
New Yorker
Lush and sweeping . . . A moving meditation on the transformative power of fate, art, time, and sheer survival
Publishers Weekly
One doesn't so much read The Queen of the Night as one is bewitched by it
Hanya Yanagihara, author of the Man Booker shortlisted 'A Little Life'
Richly researched and ornately plotted
Kirkus, STARRED review
Sprawling, soaring, bawdy and plotted like a fine embroidery
National Public Radio
Utterly engrossing. You won't want to miss this
Bookish
An epic novel, brilliantly extravagant
Vogue
Readers [will be] absorbed until the final aria, waiting to see whom fate will curse and whom it will avenge
