"Dellamonica has produced a well-written and original story,
with a fascinatingly detailed world and a coherent magical system,
reminiscent of Tim Powers'' work. Compelling characterizations,
engrossing plot, and a horrific look at the consequences of power
used selfishly all kept me turning the pages."--Kage Baker
"This is an entertaining and terrifying tale of terrific characters
who stumble into the practice of blue magic, and find that it is
neither simple nor safe. Astrid, Jacks, and Sahara will enchant
you, and lead you down unexpected paths of discovery and danger. A
great read that will make you look for magic in everyday
objects!"--Toby Bishop, author of AIRS BENEATH THE MOON
"I loved this. An original and terrific apocalyptic fantasy set in
the real world, Indigo Springs is terrifyingly insightful,
sprinkled with bits of humor for leavening. Newcomer A. M.
Dellamonica has deftly crafted a book that is both literary and a
very good read. What a fine storyteller Tor has
discovered."--Patricia Briggs, author of BONE CROSSED
"INDIGO SPRINGS is a complex and ambitious first novel with vivid
characters and an absorbing plot. A.M. Dellamonica is a talent to
watch!"--Susan Palwick, author of SHELTER
"There is magic in the small town of Indigo Springs, magic lurking
in the mysterious blue waters pooling under Astrid Lethewood''s
family home. And there is magic in INDIGO SPRINGS, the novel, magic
that compels the reader to keep turning pages as the complex tale
or ordinary people confronting centuries-old forces unfolds. A. M.
Dellamonica has created a true "chantment" here."--Harry
Turtledove, author of GIVE ME BACK MY LEGIONS!
"Alyx Dellamonica''s first novel weaves images of empiricism and
apocalypse, tells a story in which paradigms shatter and things
fall apart. But that''s not what Indigo Springs is about, not
really. At its heart this is a story about people: in over their
heads, reaping the whirlwind, doing the best they can and falling
short. These are souls you have to care about, even as they break
the world in half."--Peter Watts, author of BLINDSIGHT
