Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

An astonishing SF thriller with whiplash surprises and an ending that resonates…Ymir gets all over you and won’t come off. —James Patrick Kelly, winner of the Hugo, Nebula and Locus awards
Larson is a writer who can do just about anything, and in his second novel he splices Iain M. Banks with Alastair Reynolds…This is brain-busting sci-fi for the hardcore crowd. —Nick Wolven, author of "Snowflake"
Original, unpredictable, and starkly beautiful. A screaming dirge of a story. —Ted Kosmatka, author of The Flicker Men
Cyberpunk as fuck…I loved every gritty, punishing page of it. —Tim Miller, director of LOVE DEATH + ROBOTS and Deadpool
Endlessly inventive, richly textured, and pricked with poignant beauty. If Alien met Neuromancer, and the mutant progeny was birthed in the amniotic fluid of pure myth, Ymir would be the result. —Alvaro Zinos-Amaro, Hugo and Locus finalist
[Ymir] hurtles forward at dizzying speeds on an engine of jagged gorgeous writing. I adored Yorick, with his broken heart and his bad attitude and worse decisions...I ached with every twist and turn of his hideous beautiful journey." -Sam J Miller, Nebula-award-winning author of Blackfish City—Sam J. Miller, Nebula award-winning author of Blackfish City —
Phenomenal, visceral, high-octane scifi... Altered Carbon unsleeves in a dystopian Beowulf. —Derek Künsken, Aurora-award-winning author of The Quantum Magician
Icy, dangerous, yet darkly hopeful. An exhilarating journey that left me awed. —Hugo finalist Sheree Renée Thomas, author of Nine Bar Blues: Stories from an Ancient Future
Sci-fi thriller at its ice-cold coolest... Propulsive, terrifying, and human. —Tamsyn Muir, New York Times best-selling author of the Locked Tomb series
