Farthing Reviews
I'm putting these here in one place so I can find them when I want to put them on my web page, which will be updated RSN.

This is the terrific Lisa Goldstein Locus review.

This is the starred Publishers Weekly review.

This is Kate's review, and this is Chad's review.

This is the Green Man review.

It seems there's a Kirkus review. Could anyone with Kirkus (Shana? Anyone?) send me a copy of it? I'll be astonished if they don't hate it -- so far I have a four for four track record of Kirkus hating everything I write.

ETA: Link to the Kirkus review, kindly provided by Chuck Shelton of Kirkus. Mostly positive, for a change.

And from the comments This is the very good, but somewhat spoilered, Boing Boing review and this is Lis Riba's review.

It's an imperfect link, but http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/A9LNZBWDNMRR3/ puts the Farthing review at the top of the page.

Unfortunately, my blog doesn't support individual post pages, but my review is here.
I also posted a slightly modified version of the review to Amazon (minus the mention of Naomi Novik or hyperlinks to your first chapters), and I don't know why that isn't showing up on the product page.

Thanks! I'm especially glad to have a chance to read the Goldstein review.

And...Kirkus doesn't hate the book! Wow!

The excitement builds...

The BoingBoing is a rave review but spoils terribly exactly those aspects of the book that ought to surprise the reader. Sigh.
