Today, Asunder is released.

This novel is my best, weirdest, most tender work, and I poured my heart into it.

I hope it finds its readers. I hope it soars.

Ruoxi Chen edited Some Desperate Glory and without her the book would not exist. This was probably the Hugo I cheered loudest for last night. SO well deserved.

REVIEW: Asunder by Kerstin Hall
Asunder by Kerstin Hall is brimming with arcane horrors, uncanny atmosphere, darkly wondrous magic, divine meddling, and broken characters.

1000% agree with this! And honestly, I hope my worlds have half as much originality and precise execution as Kerstin’s does. She’s a writer I admire and wish to emulate!
