Heartfelt, intriguing and breathtakingly creative. The Puppeteer's Daughters proves that happily-ever-afters aren't always the ending to fairytales-sometimes they're just the beginning. Heather Newton is a born storyteller, showing us that magic can spill into our everyday lives when we step out of our comfort zones. -Sarah Addison Allen, New York Times bestselling author of Garden Spells and Other Birds Perfectly plotted, wonderfully paced, with characters I loved and rooted for page after page. -Tessa Fontaine, author of The Electric Woman: A Memoir in Death-Defying Acts
