The City in Glass, my novel about a demon dealing with the end of the world and what comes after, is out today!

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.

Last month we shared chapter 1 from @kerstinhall.bsky.social's adult fantasy debut Asunder, which left off with Karys drawn into an alley by a mysterious stranger. Today, read chapter 2 for alllllll the Sabriel x Witch King vibes:

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!
