Hugely exciting and satisfyingly frightening, Piper at the Gates of Dusk is also political in its reminder of how easily we turn against one another. It is also a truly inclusive novel. -- Charlotte Eyre * The Bookseller * A quick glance at Goodreads shows how excited his fans are for this new story and they will not be disappointed: Piper at the Gates of Dusk is brave, exciting, political and fierce. -- Charlotte Eyre * The Bookseller * This book absolutely floored me. I was shamefully late to reading Choas Walking, despite the fact that I had read every other of Ness’ books and been deeply in love with them. When I read the trilogy back in late 2020 I was furious that I had denied myself the beauty for so long. It quickly became one of my all time favourite trilogies. I fell in love with the world. The characters. All of it. And so to be back there… oh what a joy it was! * NetGalley Reviewer *
