The Washington Post named Wake the Wild Creatures one of the 10 Best Sci-fi and Fantasy Novels of 2025! The list was curated by Charlie Jane Anders, and I’m so honored to be among her incredible picks!
Paywall, but here are the words about my book:
“Talia grew up in a magical sanctuary in a ruined hotel, but now she is stuck living with her aunt’s family. Suma brilliantly explores how families and utopian communities come together and fall apart, uncovering the shared pain at the center of both. Rage fuels Wake the Wild Creatures, but it’s invigorating rather than enervating, laced with tenderness and forgiveness. The Neves hotel, in all its fallen grandeur, feels both real and utterly haunting, and you might be left wishing you could walk under its creaky chandelier.”
Here you can find all ten of the books on The Washington Post‘s list of the Best Sci-fi and Fantasy Novels of 2025.
Thank you for celebrating this news with me!
