The 2025 Nebula Awards for Best Sci-Fi and Fantasy Writing

"A landmark, the kind of fantasy novel that has its own gravity and distorts the genre terrain around it. Set in a small town called Lovesend, it tells the story of teenagers who return from the dead and must compete to remain alive... The Book of Love does justice to its name." – The New York Times

"Simultaneously bittersweet and beautiful, blending humor, heart, and no small amount of horror to create a tale that somehow feels both refreshingly new and like something that has always existed." – Paste

"People fall in love with monsters all the time, but few monsters are as lovable as Shesheshen..." – The Washington Post

"Well, Kerstin Hall can probably expect some of my therapy bills in her inbox soon, because I think Asunder just broke me in the best way possible. Brimming with arcane horrors, uncanny atmosphere, darkly wondrous magic, divine meddling, broken yet loveable characters, and brutal emotional gut punches, this is truly the fantasy horror adventure of my darkest dreams." – Grimdark Magazine

"Dreamy and precise, huge in scope and very personal, this is a towering achievement and a genre-busting tour de force." – Daily Mail

"Rakesfall is a pioneer in the realm of science fiction, a challenger to our understanding of stories and history, and a dare to step into worlds far stranger than our own." – Chicago Review of Books
