“Leopold, despite his beliefs to the contrary, is a truly extraordinary hero, and this book brings his epic journey to a perfect conclusion. Nobody builds worlds like Ransom Riggs—this story is so rich and completely imagined that you can feel and hear the magic all around you. You’ll love Sunderworld, and you’ll love its wondrous cast of characters.”—John Green, bestselling author of The Fault in Our Stars and Everything Is Tuberculosis
Praise for Sunderworld, Vol. 1: The Extraordinary Disappointments of Leopold Berry
An instant New York Times Bestseller!
★ “Riggs’s incandescent storytelling, exquisite worldbuilding, and vivid characterization kick off a propulsive series starter that subverts the chosen-one trope via a self-made antihero who learns to choose himself. If Leopold finds more questions than answers, readers will be heartened by the promise of more adventure and intrigue following this whirlwind opener.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review
★ “Like the bittersweet Los Angeles it occupies, Leopold’s offbeat Sunderworld is a little grimy and a little broken, but the magic is real and will stick with you.”—Booklist, starred review
“Riggs’ writing is tight and well paced. Some incredible action scenes leap off the pages, and Sunder is a blur of dangerous situations, well-drawn characters, and magical devices. The ending will make readers wish they couldimmediately reach for the second volume…. A fully imagined fantastical world with compelling characters and a nail-biting cliffhanger.”—Kirkus Reviews
