Newcomer Bao’s off-world setting and world-building details are intriguing.

Publishers Weekly
“

Characters are well developed, especially strong-willed Phaet, and an even pace will keep teens turning pages. Fans of Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game, Veronica Roth’s Divergent and Marie Lu’s Legend should flock to this well-written debut effort by 19-year-old Bao.

“

Until just recently, the number of formidable young adult authors who got published before they were out of their teens was extremely small: Christopher Paolini and Isamu Fukui. Well, it is time to make room for a third name in this elite list: Karen Bao.

The 20-year-old Bao writes a brilliant new YA heroine in a world of true science fiction.

My childhood in New Jersey was full of music, books, stargazing, and buggy science “experiments” on the playground. As a high school senior, I wrote Dove Arising when I should have been doing my homework. I now study environmental biology at college in New York City, soaking up inspiration for future books. www.karenbao.com
