Reviews

""A gripping and deeply satisfying conclusion that's sure to leave readers sighing with delight."" --Kirkus Reviews Praise for THE SUMMER QUEEN: ""Intricate worldbuilding, deftly crafted multidimensional characters, and a slow-burn romance. The breathlessly tantalizing cliffhanger ending is sure to keep readers clamoring for the next installment. A dark, atmospheric, and complex fantasy that leans into all the feels."" --Kirkus Reviews Praise for THE BURIED AND THE BOUND: ""With gorgeous prose and rich worldbuilding, this gripping dark fantasy slowly unfolds its tale of broken hearts, family secrets, and self-empowerment . . . . This is one for fans of Holly Black, Anna-Marie McLemore, and romantic fantasy that has a bittersweet bite. A wonderful start to a new trilogy."" --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) ""The teens' journey to trusting each other is by turns heart-wrenching and hilarious, and the episodic nature of their quests will appeal to fans of supernatural shows like Sabrina or Wednesday. Although the main storyline is resolved, many questions remain unanswered, leaving readers desperate for the next installment."" --School Library Journal (starred review) ""Overflowing with whimsy, danger, and a touch of humor, this alluring tale maintains a satisfying air of menace and unpredictability."" --Publishers Weekly ""A thrilling dark fantasy. . . Hassan expertly weaves these three titillating storylines, featuring chilling and thrilling faerie monsters and creatures, into a multilayered magical adventure about companionship, sacrifice, and survival."" --Booklist ""As she brings a Lebanese immigrant family into the heart of a witches-in-New England tale, Hassan deftly highlights magic's global presence. Although Aziza's magical specialty is maintaining borders, her sprawling world of magic illustrates the rewards that await readers when fantasy reaches beyond white, Eurocentric inspirations and characters. Imaginative and urgently paced, The Buried and the Bound will be enjoyed by fans of Holly Black, S. Jae-Jones and Alix E. Harrow."" --Bookpage
