Review Quotes: ★ "Riggs's incandescent storytelling, exquisite worldbuilding, and vivid characterization kick off a propulsive series starter that subverts the chosen-one trope via a self-made antihero who learns to choose himself. If Leopold finds more questions than answers, readers will be heartened by the promise of more adventure and intrigue following this whirlwind opener."--Publishers Weekly, starred review
★ "Like the bittersweet Los Angeles it occupies, Leopold's offbeat Sunderworld is a little grimy and a little broken, but the magic is real and will stick with you."--Booklist, starred review "Riggs' writing is tight and well paced. Some incredible action scenes leap off the pages, and Sunder is a blur of dangerous situations, well-drawn characters, and magical devices. The ending will make readers wish they couldimmediately reach for the second volume.... A fully imagined fantastical world with compelling characters and a nail-biting cliffhanger."--Kirkus Reviews "This love letter to Los Angeles is brimming with magic, nostalgia, and eclectic characters. Riggs, in addition to creating a wildly imaginative world, handles topics of grief and loss with aplomb.... An intriguing and enigmatic first installment."--Shelf AwarenessPraise for the #1 Bestselling Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children series "Boy, can Ransom Riggs tell a story."--NPR.org "A visually rich literary experience."--New York Times "Chilling, wondrous."--People "Pulse-pounding."--Booklist "David Lynchian imagery, and rich eerie detail."--Entertainment Weekly "A thrilling, Tim Burton-esque tale."--USA Today
