Reviews"A scathing but truthful look at the world we live in, and a stunningly powerful story." --Terry Brooks "Powerful, passionate, and painful, this book is like a file baked into a birthday cake: a surprise when you first bite down on it, but also a tool that can set you free. Innovative and brilliantly written, this is a glorious jewel added to the crown of dark academia." --Seanan McGuire "Wang deftly incorporates elements of science and philosophy into dark academia in this provocative stand-alone novel." -- The Washington Post "Bears comparison to groundbreaking works by Ursula K Le Guin . . . the best fantasy novel of the year." -- The Guardian "Ambitious and mysterious, imaginative and haunting . . ." -- Ms. magazine "A gaslamp dark academia that will haunt you forever." --Armed with a Book "Fans of R. F. Kuang's Babel will find much to admire here, from the intricate magic system to the unflinching exploration of societal issues." -- Booklist "The best book--bar none--I've read all year." --Evan Winter, author of The Fire of Vengeance "M. L. Wang continues to deliver the goods. Blood Over Bright Haven is a storytelling masterclass. Deep themes run through this energetic tale of dark academia, and feats of imagination abound." --Mark Lawrence, author of The Book That Wouldn't Burn "A fantastic page-turner--clever, emotional, and thematically rich. . . highly recommended! I was completely engaged the whole way through." --James Islington, author of The Will of the Many "Blood Over Bright Haven is the kind of book that knocks you down, kicks you repeatedly, and then makes you thank it for doing so. I can't recommend it highly enough." --John Bierce, author of the Mage Errant series "With one of the most intricate and fascinating magic systems I have ever read, Blood Over Bright Haven masterfully draws you into the brutal web of power, corruption, and complicity at the heart of its society. This book is a merciless reckoning that leaves you reeling long after the last page is turned." --Sara Hashem, author of The Jasad Heir "Breathtaking in its scope, audacity, and the depth of its storytelling . . . the kind of story that changes your heart and mind forever." --Andy Peloquin, author of Darkblade "Beautiful, evocative, and haunting . . . I can't get it out of my head." --Dyrk Ashton, author of Rise of Gods "Blood Over Bright Haven is fantasy at its best: a compelling read that I couldn't put down, and probably one of my top ten books of this decade." --Virginia McClain, author of Blade's Edge "Academia at its darkest . . . Blood Over Bright Haven will haunt you long after its final page." --Trudie Skies, author of The Cruel Gods trilogy "Vibrant, raw, and deeply emotional, this novel is a manifesto about justice as much as it is a thrilling work of fiction." -- Library Journal , starred review, "A scathing but truthful look at the world we live in, and a stunningly powerful story." --Terry Brooks "Some books read like a rare feast--so sumptuous you wish you could enjoy each delectable bite, yet you can't help gobbling them up in a few greedy chomps. Such was the case for me while reading Blood Over Bright Haven ." --The New York Times "Powerful, passionate, and painful, this book is like a file baked into a birthday cake: a surprise when you first bite down on it, but also a tool that can set you free.
