""Ruiner ruined me. A magic system like nothing I've ever seen before, and the characters and the story are every bit as fresh and dazzling as the worldbuilding."" --Sam J. Miller, Nebula Award-winning author of Blackfish City ""An intricate spiral staircase of a book that offers a rich invented world, lovingly rendered characters, and a propulsive plot that examines power, play, community bonds, and societal structures. It fascinates from first page to last."" --Madeline ffitch, author of Stay and Fight ""The sort of fantasy I always yearn to find and find all too rarely. ... Its meticulously built mythos becomes a lens through which to view our own troubled world. Storylight for finding our way forward.""--Molly Gloss, award-winning author of The Dazzle of Day ""A vivid and unique fantasy world rich with imagination, unforgettable characters, and high-stakes arcs. ... A thrilling reminder of how all things are shaped by and connected to the power and permeability of storytelling.""--Tiffany Morris, author of Green Fuse Burning ""Ruiner resounds with the power of stories to heal, to wound, to sustain, and to make revolution.""--Blake Hausman, author of Riding the Trail of Tears ""[An] ambitious speculative work ... readers seeking surprising postapocalyptic fiction will want to check this out.""--Publishers Weekly
