Review "From the moment I saw the cover and title of this book, I was intrigued. The story of Heart, one of the Darling Undesirables, pulls the reader in and takes you on a journey into a new world. Heart is naive and has lived her life very protected. As she steps outside her known environment she encounters situations that are strange and unfamiliar to her. Miss Ayne, allows the reader to learn the answers to those questions along with Heart, which I very much enjoyed."Margaret Minary"In the Darling Undesirables, Heart and Eye captured my attention and stole my heart from page one, (in) a world where electricity is antiquated, dark energy has been harnessed, and clockwork figures come to life in the Museum of Scientific Improbabilities and Unpredictable Oddities, where that name alone sparks the imagination. Thanks to Blythe Aynes memorable characters ... and the vivid setting where this story takes place, I found myself propelled by Hearts quest that challenges her world and her place in it. I recommend this book to all ... young or old."Cheri Greear"I got into YA fantasy when my (now grown) son was at that age - and since then I have continued reading the Pullmans and the Pratchetts with great delight. It is with this in mind that I was delighted reading The Darling Undesirables. The writing is superb and the characters well developed. The story is compelling and well-paced...There is just the right level of background darkness coupled with great clarity and hope."I was also very impressed by the physical design of this book. Clearly, the publishers have gone to great lengths to match the (steampunk-y) feel of the story with a corresponding artistic design. This is an excellent addition to the genre, and one that both YAs and oldies like me will love to read."Chris Robson"I found this book to be a feast for my imagination. A world of Dark Energy populated by a cast of beguiling characters...people of courage, vision, and ingenuity, versus forces for repression that are dark indeed. Atmospheric and hugely entertaining."Joseph Edge"Quite literally magical, Blythe Aynes beautiful penmanship pulls you into a vivid world, imaginative beyond words... The Darling Undesirables is a true gem of literature that will appeal to all ages."Elizabeth Shannon, author of A Song of Bullets and Time Twist Review Quote "Quite literally magical, Blythe Aynes beautiful penmanship pulls you into a vivid world, imaginative beyond words...
