The Girl King is everything I want in a high fantasy. Yu draws
fluently from history to create an exquisite world, brings it to
life with gorgeous and atmospheric prose, and populates it with
fascinating characters. I expect this to be one of the most
talked-about books of 2019, and I can't wait to see what this very
talented author does next. * Samantha Shannon, bestselling author
of THE PRIORY OF THE ORANGE TREE *
Fierce and unforgettable, THE GIRL KING is an epic fantasy of
tremendous lyrical power; that rare novel that leaves you
breathless, as though your dreams and heart are bigger than your
body. There's no greater pleasure than to find a novel that makes
you feel more alive - Mimi Yu has that gift of magic *
Marjorie Liu, New York Times bestselling author *
An absolutely fantastic tale of legends, magic and destiny, Mimi
Yu's THE GIRL KING kept the pages turning. The myths are awesome,
the heroes are unsinkable, and the antagonists are chock-full of
twisted agendas. If you're down with dangerous magic, clans of
shapeshifters, and worthy girls who somehow STILL need to prove
their worth, then you will love this as much as I did * Kendare
Blake, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Three Dark
Crowns series *
An epic tale of fate, desire, family and love, highly recommended
[starred review] * School Library Journal *
An intricate, richly crafted, fantasy that will draw you in and
keep you guessing to the last stunning battle * Heidi Helig *
a beautifully written epic replete with magic, shapeshifting
characters, complex political intrigue and the obligatory battles
between good and evil . . . Strong female characters and a
helter-skelter plot make for a compelling read * Guardian *
