Updraft

Wilde's fantastical trilogy (after Cloudbound) takes on violent political divisions, ecological desolation, and the imminent death of the only world the characters have ever known....Fans of the series will be satisfied by its conclusion. --Publishers Weekly on Horizon Cloudbound...is a thrilling and complex tale about the most difficult stage of a revolution: what do you do after you win? Highly recommended both for the story it tells as well as how it tells that story. Wilde takes risks that pay off hugely. --Ken Liu, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author ofThe Grace of Kings A fantastic follow-up to Updraft--I liked it better than its predecessor, particularly for what it says about the politics of fear and prejudice, and how giving people what they want isn't always the best thing. --Aliette de Bodard, award-winning author of House of Shattered Wings Cloudbound represents the opposite of a sophomore slump. It's that rare bird, the follow-up to a highly praised first novel that doesn't just equal its predecessor's accomplishments, but exceeds them. --Locus The world of the towers grown from bone, where residents strap on wings and soar the air currents, is captivating...Kirit's journey to find her place is satisfying, but the real draw is a world that readers will be anxious to revisit in future volumes of this exciting new series. --Library Journal, starred review, on Updraft A world with a detailed, believable history and society... rich with themes of tradition, progress, ambition, and class struggles that will resonate with readers. --E.C. Myers, Norton-Award winning author, Silence of the Six, on Updraft A book that's impossible to put down. [Wilde has] planted herself firmly in the authors to watch category. --Andrew Liptak on Updraft Extraordinary world-building and cascading levels of intrigue make Wilde's debut fantasy novel soar. --Publishers Weekly (starred review)
