"Haute-École is not one of those weighty Heroic-Fantasy novels spiced up with blood, sex and rock'n'roll, but well and truly Fantasy in the most noble and magic sense of the term. Without recourse to overlengthy passages and infused with a delightful social cynicism, the work in its most profound developments brings to mind SILVERBERG in the late 60s [nothing less than that!]
It is certainly no mean thing to say that Sylvie DENIS' first novel is one of the best surprises of this year and we are already looking forward to her next."
