What a mesmerizing whirlwind of a story! I was simultaneously
horrified and enchanted by the land of Cane, with all its passion
and mysteries, magic and mechaniks. Claire Legrand’s writing has
the grace of a ballet, but this is definitely not your
grandmother’s Nutcracker tale.
*Marissa Meyer, New York Times bestselling author of Cinder*
“The story of The Nutcracker receives a sinister steampunk twist in
an engrossing retelling. Legrand's story is rich in fantastical
realism…”
*Publishers Weekly*
