Sometimes a writer you admire says something incredible about something you’ve written. I am thrilled and honored by these words from two glorious authors I admire, Libba Bray and Michelle Hodkin, about my new novel The Walls Around Us…
“The Walls Around Us is a suspenseful tour-de-force. It is a ghost story of the best sort, the kind that creeps into your soul and haunts you with doubts about what you think you know and what you choose to believe. Above all, it is a thoughtful, heart-probing examination of innocence and guilt, friendship and betrayal, humanity and inhumanity, of the crimes we excuse and the prisons we create for ourselves, and the razor-wire-thin line that separates one from the other. When people ask me for my favorite authors, I always say, ‘Have you read Nova Ren Suma?’ She’s brilliant, and I would happily follow her to whatever strange and wondrous dark wood she imagines next.” —Libba Bray, author of The Diviners and A Great and Terrible Beauty
“Fearlessly imagined and deliciously sinister, The Walls Around Us is an unmissable novel crafted by a spellbinding storyteller. Nova Ren Suma’s talent is on display in every sentence; her prose is hypnotic, luring the reader deeper and deeper into this original, shocking narrative with each artfully chosen word. Without question, this is the book of the year.” —Michelle Hodkin, author of The Mara Dyer Trilogy
I’ve been itching to share these two quotes with you and am so thrilled I finally can! Thank you so very much, Libba and Michelle. You’ve thrilled me.
