Praise for The Song of the Dead

"Carrie Patel's post-Catastrophic world has become progressively more rich and complex over the course of her trilogy... [This] engaging political fantasy is full of twists and turns, and The Song of the Dead especially stands out for its imaginative, memorably described characters and settings."
-- Dru Pagliassotti, author of the Clockwork Heart trilogy

PRAISE FOR THE RECOLETTA SERIES
"With... Agatha Christie's flair for the subtle conundrum, Patel's debut novel [is a] subtly fantastical story...resplendent with surprisingly deep villains, political corruption, and a gripping whodunit feel."
- Starred Review, Publishers Weekly

"The Buried Life excels on many levels ...a vivid portrayal of a vibrant multicultural society, and an intriguing love story."
- The Guardian
