What They're Saying
Critics Review
Praise for City of Beasts:
“Readers who enjoy the fast-paced desperation of Jay Kristoff’s Lifelike series and Meg Rosoff’s How I Live Now will appreciate the pulse-pounding intensity of this thriller.”–School Library Journal
“A page-turning dystopian novel that explores the divisions that differences can engender and the things that can, sometimes, mend them. “–Publishers Weekly
“Glori, the beasts, and the readers all have something to learn about gender, difference, and relationships, whether in the present or the apocalypse. Quirky characters offset darker themes, making this a brutal yet optimistic portrayal of a possible future.”–Kirkus Reviews
“Wang has managed to write an exciting, prescient story that brings to mind the unlikely combination of M.T. Anderson’s Feed, Cory Doctorow’s Little Brother, and Sara Shepard’s Pretty Little Liars series, with a little of Libba Bray’s Gemma Doyle trilogy and the cult classic film Heathers thrown in the mix… . Highly recommended.”–School Library Journal
“Wang’s smart, technocentric debut-Gossip Girl meets M.T. Anderson’s Feed-addresses identity, public perception, and social media skewering.”–Publishers Weekly
