Praise for Fledgling by S.K. Ali ★ “A grippingly believable mirror of our own world.” — Kirkus Reviews, starred review ★“This is a duology to watch.” — Booklist, starred review ""Ali's science-fiction debut reads like she's known this genre all her life. A sweeping epic of love and revolution, set in a visceral future vision of Earth and starring a cast you can't help but fall for. A breathtaking ride."" —Marie Lu, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Stars And Smoke ""A dystopian story rooted in colonial realities, Fledgling is a fierce and ever-relevant ode to resistance and self-determination against the hypocrisy of those who burn the world down for their own benefit and then deem themselves superior to those who survive among the ashes."" —Xiran Jay Zhao, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Iron Widow ""A delicious blend of intricate world building, royal and political intrigue, and romance. Fledgling pulls you in from the very first page!” —Stephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Once Upon a Broken Heart “In turns both profound and heart racing, S. K. Ali's vision of a world on the brink of revolution or submission to artificial political intelligence sounds eerily plausible.” —S. A. Chakraborty, New York Times Bestselling author of The Daevabad Trilogy “A richly-imagined futuristic world tipping into revolution, a fiery yet tender love story, and unyielding courage in the search for truth and justice, S. K. Ali’s entry into science fiction is powerful in every sense. Raw, inspiring, and unputdownable.” —Amelie Wen Zhao, New York Times and internationally bestselling author of the Song of the Last Kingdom duology “Ali immerses readers in a postapocalyptic dystopia that raises questions about the meaning of freedom and the politics of revolution through a sprawling cast, numerous perspectives, and detailed worldbuilding.” — Publishers Weekly
