PRAISE FOR Rebel Skies

"The uniqueness of the world created in the story makes this a book adventure fantasy lovers will enjoy." --STARRED REVIEW, Booklist

"Sei Lin expertly weaves themes of longing, grief, and courage among visceral worldbuilding, which is conveyed via intricately detailed prose. Distinctly rendered characters debate nuanced questions of morality against a backdrop of white-knuckle action sequences in this suspenseful series opener." --Publishers Weekly

"A deliciously edgy plot and lingering mysteries will leave readers eager for the sequel." --Kirkus Reviews

"A ­diverse fantasy adventure about power, responsibility, and hope. Strongly recommended for YA collections." --School Library Journal

"A splendid adventure with unusual magic, magicians, and the people who deal with it all!" --Tamora Pierce, author of the Song of the Lioness and Protector of the Small quartets

"Featuring a vivid mythology, spectacular battles and an endlessly surprising heroine, Rebel Skies is as intricate, beautiful and startling as one of the paper spirits Kurara brings to life." --Jonathan Stroud, bestselling author of the Bartimaeus Sequence, Lockwood & Co. and The Outlaws Scarlett & Browne

"A magical debut that reads like a Ghibli film, brimming with imagination, action and heart." --Natasha Ngan, author of Girls of Paper and Fire

"An extraordinary world. Vivid, breath-taking, perfectly executed."
--A.F. Steadman, author of Skandar and the Unicorn Thief

"An intricately constructed ode to papercraft and Japanese culture. I fell in love with this world of airships, cumulous whales and floating cities. Pure magic."
--Lauren James, CILIP Carnegie Medal-longlisted author of The Loneliest Girl in the Universe
