Critics Review
“A breathtaking, hope-filled underwater adventure that always leaves room for wonder. The story is pacy, the setting lush and original, but it’s Leyla and her positive, determined spirit that will really steal your heart.”–Laura Weymouth, author of The Light Between Worlds and A Treason of Thorns“Expertly pairing catastrophe and courage, Shah tells the story of intensely personal problems in a truly perilous world. I love this book.”–E.K. Johnston, #1 NYT bestselling author of Star Wars: Queen’s Shadow“A heart-racing adventure that reveals compelling and necessary truths about several critical issues of our times, while delivering all the thrills and twists of an epic quest. A stand-out, must-read book that engulfed me in its enthralling world and characters. Leyla McQueen is queen of the (under)seas!”–S.K. ALi, New York Times bestselling author of The Proudest Blue, Saints & Misfits, and Love From A to Z“A work of fathomless imagination.”–Samantha Shannon, New York Times bestselling author of The Bone Season and Priory of the Orange Tree“Shah’s debut is a fast-paced masterpiece from start to finish. Readers will fall in love with passionate, persistent Leyla as well as her secretive, swoon-worthy companion, Ari. Shah has skillfully shaped a gorgeous world unlike any those fans [of dystopian fiction] have seen before. But be forewarned: the book ends on a jaw-dropping cliff-hanger. Highly recommended.”–School Library JournalPraise for The Light at the Bottom of the World:
About The Author
London Shah
London Shah is a British-born Muslim of Pashtun ethnicity. She has lived in Britain’s capital for most of her life, via England’s beautiful North. When she’s not busy re-imagining the past, plotting an alternate present or dreaming up a surreal future, she’s most likely drinking copious amounts of tea, eating all the sweets and cakes, strolling through Richmond Park or along the Thames, getting lost on an evening in the city’s older, darker alleyways-preferably just after it’s rained-listening to punk rock, or losing herself in a fab SFF book or film.
