"I highly recommend The Stars Compel to anyone who enjoys fantasy, history, intrigue and courtly passion because this book has them all."
— S. Joan Popek
Millennium SF & F
"Roessner's sequel to her historical fantasy The Stars Dispose brilliantly recreates Renaissance Italy and brightly imagines the love of young Catherine de Medici.... Most satisfying of all of this hearty novel's mingled flavors is the sprezzatura, or easy grace of the loving master, with which Roessner concocts her luscious Italian settings, replete with recipes that even on the page breathe the seductive scents of Tuscany: Bellissima."
—Publishers Weekly, September 20, 1999
