Critics Review

** PRAISE FOR SUNYA MARA **
An enchanting and wildly clever debut . . . a true masterclass in young adult fantasy
Ayana Gray, New York Times bestselling author of Beasts of Prey
A thrilling, fast-paced adventure by an exciting new voice
Adalyn Grace, New York Times bestselling author of All the Stars and Teeth
The Lightstruck is the kind of sequel I'd hoped it would be: exciting, surprising, at times heart-breaking and always engaging. It's a novel that never loses its essential sense of hope, even when the situations and characters themselves feel utterly hopeless. It also credits readers with the intelligence they're owed
