Julian, Klaudia, Nadiya and Giselle are each well-rounded characters in their own right, but the charm of Winterveil is in the ways they interact. The looming backdrop of a never-ending war also adds a sense of dystopian doom throughout the novel, contrasting the individuality of each character's coming of age with worldwide consequences. The novel sets up an entire world, allowing for the story to seep beyond the walls of a typical dark academia story.
Winterveil is full of mystery and heart, and as its ending sets up a sequel, prepare for another exciting series from Ava Reid. - BookPage

It's a tense, fast-paced race to a cliff-hanger of a conclusion to this duology starter. Each character is easy to root for and immaculately rendered as sympathetic, despite distinct flaws. An absolute must-read for dystopian readers and history enthusiasts alike. - Booklist Reviews (starred review)

Praise for Fable for the End of the World: "In this brilliantly imagined work, the impoverished are terrorized not only by the environment but by the government, and women's bodies are mutated to men's ideals. This masterful queer narrative encourages readers to question messages around gender and sexuality. A thrilling, page-turning must-read: prescient and necessary, impressive and disturbing." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Stunningly crafted, Reid displays an eye for human connection with her enemies-to-lovers Sapphic romance and portrayal of complex familial relationships. Inesa and Mel are thoughtful foils to each other, their characteristics bleeding together as they survive the Gauntlet and the painfully realistic depiction of the ramifications of climate change. Fraught with social commentary as well, Reid's tale touches on the dangers of debt and late-stage capitalism, the addiction to screens and technology, and the realities of corporations buying out governments. Suzanne Collins fans, meet your new favorite dystopia." - Booklist (starred review)

Praise for A Study in Drowning: "Reid wields lyricism, dark academia, and fairy-core elements to eloquently imbue the narrative with originality and depth that ferries themes surrounding grief, gender, and the value of folklore." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Lusciously evocative and dripping with verbal texture." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
