Praise for the Bone Universe Trilogy
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 Wilde gives us a compellingly strange world, one that is
alien in the best and most interesting senses. And the characters
are fun. It's a worthy conclusion to the trilogy, and a satisfying
one. --Liz Bourke, Tor.com, on Horizon [A] series worth reading
because it takes readers to a completely different place than any
they've seen before, to a world where people believe flying is life
itself, and how sometimes even when change is hard it's not
necessarily going to become something worse. --Elitist Book Reviews
on Horizon "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, on Cloudbound 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 of The Grace of Kings, on Cloudbound A book
that's impossible to put down. [Wilde has] planted herself firmly
in the "authors to watch" category. --Andrew Liptak on Updraft
"Fran Wilde's name ought to be mentioned with China Mieville's ...
She writes with an intelligence and imagination that are
breathtaking."--Kat Howard 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
