" --Phoebe North, author of Starglass "A tremendously inventive and smart novel. Archivist Wasp is like Kafka by way of Holly Black and Shirley Jackson, but completely original. Highly recommended." --Jeff VanderMeer, author of the Southern Reach trilogy "A gorgeous, disturbing, compelling book with a smart, complicated heroine who bestrides her post-apocalyptic world like a bewildered force of nature." --Delia Sherman, author of The Freedom Maze "Brutal post-apocalypse meets sci-fi techno-thriller meets a ghost story for the ages." --Mike Allen, author of Unseaming "Goes off like a firecracker in the brain: the haunted landscape, the sure-footed, blistering prose--and, of course, the heroine herself, the most excellent Archivist Wasp." --Kelly Link, author of Get in Trouble Praise for Latchkey Kirkus Best YA Science Fiction of 2018 Tor.com Best Young Adult Science Fiction and Fantasy of 2018 Den of Geek Best Fiction Books of 2018 2018 Locus Recommended Reading List [STARRED REVIEW] "Near-future science-fiction crimes bleed into dystopian horror centuries later in a wildly imaginative genre-hybrid sequel to Archivist Wasp .
Excruciating, cathartic, and triumphant." --Kirkus [STARRED REVIEW] "Archivist Wasp fans, prepare to be delighted . Teens who enjoy reading extended fight scenes and want immersion in an extraordinary world will enjoy Kornher-Stace's second act." --School Library Journal "Has there ever been such longing, fueled by such darkness and adrenaline? Has there ever been such satisfaction, and at such a cost?" --C. S. E. Cooney, World Fantasy Award-winning author of Bone Swans "Cathartic, feminist, explosively imaginative and masterfully told, Kornher-Stace gives us a second-world fantasy that transports our minds while, time and again, it emotionally arrives." --Carlos Hernandez, author of Sal and Gabi Break the Universe "Fierce, blazing, brilliant.
The mythic and brutal world of Nicole Kornher-Stace's Latchkey is so richly realized, you don't step into it, you fall." --Jacqueline West, author of The Books of Elsewhere.
