The Hexologists

Josiah Bancroft Press Reviews

Bancroft is a wonder as ever! The Hexologists was a joyous delight on every page - buoyantly inventive, witty, poignant, gripping and deeply satisfying -- Madeline Miller, author of CIRCE

Josiah Bancroft's imagination will astound you. One of the most inventive fantasy authors out there -- Fonda Lee, author of the Green Bone Saga

Bancroft has returned to the page in force, deploying his crystal prose and razored wit around a tale that mixes whimsy and threat in equal measure. He's a gift to the genre and we should support his work -- Mark Lawrence, author of THE BOOK THAT WOULDN'T BURN

Fantastic! The Hexologists fizzes eloquently with wit and elegance, but also has marvellous worldbuilding and an excellent plot - and a central pair of characters who I quite simply love. A cocktail of a book made with the very best champagne -- Genevieve Cogman, author of THE INVISIBLE LIBRARY

The Books of Babel are something you hope to see perhaps once a decade - future classics, which may be remembered long after the series concludes -- LA TIMES

It's rare to find a modern book that feels like a timeless classic. I'm wildly in love with this book -- Pierce Brown, author of RED RISING, on SENLIN ASCENDS

This light and charming tale encompasses a twisty mystery, detailed Victorian-esque worldbuilding, and nuanced protagonists who love each other dearly, all relayed in Bancroft's superior prose. Readers will be eager to see how the series evolves -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (starred review)
