Everyone talks about “the sophomore slump” but Candlemark & Gleam contributors apparently didn’t receive this particular memo.

Two sophomore Candlemark works received starred Publishers Weekly reviews in 2016: Drakon (A. M. Tuomala’s second standalone novel after her highly acclaimed Erekos, the first work to be published by Candlemark), and To Shape the Dark (Athena Andreadis’ follow up to accolades-laden The Other Half of the Sky).  We’re batting 100% for this recognition this year – not too shabby an accomplishment!

So feast your eyes on the PW reviews, and don’t forget that To Shape the Dark is out in the world, while Drakon will appear in incandescent glory in early December!
