Keeper of Sorrows Reviews

A deeply original book. Centering women in this surreal high fantasy, Rachel Fikes creates an incredibly unique magic system that sets the stage for a mystery filled with political manoeuvring, transformations and so much more.

-- Sunyi Dean

Rachel Fikes has crafted a beautifully original fantasy full of sumptuous language and breath-hitching mystery. In Keeper of Sorrows, there are horrors around every corner, yet this gothic high fantasy is told through the lens of two protagonists who manage to find beauty in bees, humanitys last hope in an ecologically-devastated world robbed of wind. Fikes tells a story that feels like a descent into madness, where nothing is ever as it appears, perfect for readers who want to feel their skin crawl while being immersed in a narrative full of heart. Its impossible to ignore the passion seeping through its pages.

-- Gabriela Romero Lacruz, author of #1 Sunday Times Bestseller The Sun and the Void
