Reviews

“For teens already reading adult fantasy but wanting something a bit more on their level, this hits the spot perfectly.”
Kirkus

“Marmell knows how to write a compelling book: smart, smartmouthed irreverent, and bold female thief with an vivid world for her to inhabit and a memorable cast of characters. It is swashbuckling fun to watch Widdershins make her way in the world.”
Night Owl Reviews, a 2012 top pick

“Widdershins is not your average heroine. Adept with her blade and her wits, sassy and sensitive, she should appeal to older teens both male and female.”
RT Book Reviews

“Like a gateway drug for GAME OF THRONES […] There is a wonderfully rich flavor to this YA fantasy, with its Renaissance inspired setting, personal pantheon of deities, and dark tone (it even dips a toe in the realm of horror). This is a story with satisfying heft, texture, grit and originality, and I really, really enjoyed reading it.”
Book Yurt

“A fantastic new fantasy full of swashbuckling adventure, interesting characters, and a plot that unfolds like a mystery. This new series has a lot of potential with plenty of action, humor, drama, and magic. This series is marketed toward young adults, but more mature fantasy fans will enjoy this fun and enchanting story as well.”
SciFi Chick

“THIEF’S COVENANT stands out from the crowd with a good fast-paced plot […] It is a book I enjoyed reading and would recommend to others of any age. Why should teenagers have all the fun?”
SFcrowsnest

“Widdershins is a wonderful protagonist […] I loved the book because of the fast-paced action, fantastic interactions between Widdershins and Olgun, and fun style of writing. Overall a great book that I’d easily recommend.”
Whatchamacallit Reviews

“Ari Marmell has created a fascinating new fantasy series for YA fans and fans of all ages to enjoy with his Widdershins Adventures. I loved THIEF’S COVENANT and know this is one book I will be revisiting over time.”
Reader Girls

“The books are seriously good [...] If you want to read something quick, something intense and something chortle out loud funny, try Widdershins Adventures.”
