“Bastille’s debut artfully combines magic, technology, and romance” — Publishers Weekly
Kirkus Reviews calls MagicLand from New York Publishing House Morgan James Publishing, “A bracing dystopian tale that deftly mixes magic, evolution, and romance.”
Feathered Quill says, “Bastille’s deftly-wrought prose is nothing short of sublime. The vivid world-building of artificial intelligence and magical creatures is breathtaking.”
