Praise for Fable for the End of the World: “In this brilliantly imagined work, the impoverished are terrorized not only by the environment but by the government, and women’s bodies are mutated to men’s ideals. This masterful queer narrative encourages readers to question messages around gender and sexuality. A thrilling, page-turning must-read: prescient and necessary, impressive and disturbing.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“Stunningly crafted, Reid displays an eye for human connection with her enemies-to-lovers Sapphic romance and portrayal of complex familial relationships. Inesa and Mel are thoughtful foils to each other, their characteristics bleeding together as they survive the Gauntlet and the painfully realistic depiction of the ramifications of climate change. Fraught with social commentary as well, Reid’s tale touches on the dangers of debt and late-stage capitalism, the addiction to screens and technology, and the realities of corporations buying out governments. Suzanne Collins fans, meet your new favorite dystopia.” — Booklist (starred review)
“Reid is well regarded for her lyrical writing and nuanced characters; here she paints a vivid portrait of a world fallen to climate change and capitalism, juxtaposed against the ways love is redemptive. VERDICT A dark dystopian novel for readers craving something more mature than The Hunger Games. Perfect for high school collections.” — School Library Journal (starred review)
Praise for A Study in Drowning: “Reid wields lyricism, dark academia, and fairy-core elements to eloquently imbue the narrative with originality and depth that ferries themes surrounding grief, gender, and the value of folklore.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“A dark and gripping feminist tale.” — Kirkus Reviews
“Lusciously evocative and dripping with verbal texture.” — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
