"The wide-reaching world building of Milford’s Nagspeake novels gets even more expansive. The stories are purely enjoyable, playfully toying with folktale conventions, offering a compelling variety of genres, and allowing each teller’s voice to clearly come through in their tale." — Booklist "At times wryly humorous and at others marvelously unnerving and superbly menacing, this novel delights. Deliciously immersive and captivating." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "At once a deeply satisfying standalone and a smart addition to Milford’s expansive world, this elegant feat of telescopic storytelling serves as both map and key, offering singular stories of consequence that slowly, artfully reveal an immersive mystery—one that will dazzle seasoned Milford fans and kindle new ones." — Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Intricately written, gorgeously crafted, and captivating from start to finish, The Raconteur's Commonplace Book is the kind of title that remains in your heart." — Locus "If the Canterbury Tales were filled to the brim with magic and mystery, you couldn’t find a better collection than what Milford has produced here." — Betsy Bird, Fuse #8
