"Talented new author Mindy Klasky makes her debut with THE GLASSWRIGHTS APPRENTICE, a dark twist on a familiar fantasy theme. A young apprentice ends up in the wrong place at the wrong time and becomes entangled in a ruthless conspiracy to steal the throne. Ms. Klasky creates remarkably shaded characters, especially the heroine, who through flawed choices, learns in the end she can only speak truth. The result is an absorbing reading indeed; look for this author to develop in fascinating ways." -- Romantic Times

"Rani Trader is a real, complex, bewildered person, trying to make sense out of a real, complex, bewildering world. From its rich imagery to its all-too-believable class system, this first novel will absorb and intrigue you, right up to the unexpected ending." -- Nancy Kress

"This is a splendid tale, one which captured me from start to finish. Bravo -- nicely done." -- Dennis L. McKiernan
