While full of humor and fun fantasy adventure, it doesn’t shy away from also exploring the darker side of capitalism or the struggle between finding your place in the world versus making your place in the world versus making the world the place you want it to be. "Ellsworth’s feypunk Victorian fantasy is A Midsummer Night’s Dream meets Underworld with a dash of Dickens, featuring a heroine who is Lois Lane as imagined by a slightly drunk Jane Austen. Must read for those who love fantasy but need a revolutionary fix." ( Jason Ridler, author of Hex-Rated and Harvest of Blood and Iron) "Spencer Ellsworth's The Great Faerie Strike is Dickensian fantasy that punches the soot off tradition with a cunning female lead and a dastardly fun world. "Charming, rakish, and a rollicking good time." ( Tina Connolly, Nebula-nominated author of Ironskin & Seriously Wicked) With sharp writing and a rollicking pace, Ellsworth will throw you down the rabbit hole and into the Otherworld." ( Sean Grigsby, author of Smoke Eaters & Daughters of Forgotten Light) "Wacky, satirical, and downright hilarious. This book is a delight." ( Kate Heartfield, author of Alice Payne Arrives) This is an Otherworld as real and as strange as our own, with characters you can't help but root for and an economic system you can't help but recognize. "A rollicking adventure told with Pratchettesque wit and compassion. 'That Seriously Obnoxious Time I Was Stuck at Witch Rimeldas One Hundredth Birthday Party' is a seriously funny story set in the world of Seriously Wicked, a young adult fantasy novel by Tina Connolly, the acclaimed author of Ironskin.
