De Jager's fantasy world is enthralling and immersive, many fathoms deep . . . wonderful * Mike Carey *
This was certainly one action-packed story! Full of battles, weapons, mythical creatures and, of course, magic - it's guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish . . . Banished ends on a real cliff-hanger * Guardian *
A brilliant contemporary young adult fantasy * James Oswald *
The intriguing plot - set across human and fae worlds - is interspersed with twists and traitors that you're not likely to see coming, and will keep you reading . . . look out for part two * SciFi Now *
Banished is a thoroughly entertaining, well-paced, action-packed read that has a natural conclusion to the story within, but also leaves us with a cliffhanger that is part of the wider story arc * Bookzone *
Banished is fast paced, hugely entertaining and down right fun to read. It had me racing through the pages wanting to see what was going to happen next...once I started I didn't want to stop and it saddens me that there are still six months to go until we can see what happens next in Vowed * Empire of Books *
Well-told, lushly-described......It's a beautifully dark story...hits all the right notes...It delivers plenty of action and adventure, and will leave readers wanting more * Schrodinger's Bookshelf *
A great start to an interesting UK YA fantasy series that I look forward to seeing more of. With a vast world of possibilities at Liz De Jager's fingertips; I can't wait to see what happens next for Kit and the gang * Sister Spooky *
A great addition to the ranks of modern faerie tales * Fantasy Faction *
A blend of Maggie Stiefvater's Lament, with the intensity and passion of Cassandra Clare's The Mortal Instruments, you really need to watch out for this trilogy . . . The plot is thrilling and there's so much packed into one book. There are lots of plot twists and the climax was just amazing . . . Read it, read it, read it! * Queen of Contemporary *
A wonderful story and a great debut . . . I love Kit and the world De Jager has created and I can't wait to read more * Fantastical Librarian *
A thumping good read and I can't wait for Book Two to come out . . . Banished is a rollicking adventure, packed full of action with a good dose of humorous banter and filled with just the right amount of fae lore and worldbuilding * Nutpress *
A must read novel for urban fantasy fans. Banished is a fast paced story full of action and adventure and it's a fabulous debut novel from Liz de Jager. I absolutely can't wait to see where she takes the story next * Feeling Fictional *
I really really loved this book. I can hold my hand up and say that I loved it more than Cassandra Clare's City of Bones, which is something I never ever thought I would say. It feels like Liz de Jager has not only successfully created urban fantasy set in the UK, but she has smashed it! I want more, I need more! * Serendipity Reviews *
Kit is fab; she's feisty, independent and can hold her own . . . Banished is a great start to a new fantasy series and I'm already looking forward to book two in the series * One More Page *
