Reviews of Magic Under Glass
“Dolamore successfully juggles several elements that might have stymied even a more experienced writer: intriguing plot elements, sophisticated characterizations, and a subtle boost of girl power; it’s the women of the tale who have ingenuity, courage, and the power to turn events.”— Booklist, starred review
“Libba Bray’s Gemma Doyle meets Sally Gardner’s The Red Necklace, with a hint of Jane Eyre thrown in for good measure, in this vivid and rousing debut.”—Kirkus Reviews
"Debut author Dolamore draws heavily on Jane Eyre and its themes of sexual and class prejudice for her plot, reshaping the source material with skill."—Publishers Weekly
“Magic Under Glass is a stunning blend of paranormal intrigue, doomed love, secrets in the attic, and a clockwork man with a hidden past. Jaclyn Dolamore expertly captures the essence of the perfect gothic romance on every page."—Carrie Ryan, author, The Forest of Hands And Teeth
“...The result is a whimsical, smart novel that is sort of like a cross between Howl’s Moving Castle and Jonathan Strange and Mister Norrell.”—Maggie Stiefvater, author, Shiver
"Mixed into this stunning debut novel are enough plot points to keep readers interested. With touches of steampunk, romance, fantasy, and mystery, there is a little something for everyone.."—School Library Journal
"The book offers plenty of romance and intrigue, and readers not quite ready for the weight of Libba Bray's Gemma Doyle trilogy may do well to start here."—BCCB
