’At a time when ethnic identities are becoming more politically salient this book provides an invaluable account of their appeal to ordinary Kenyans. Balaton-Chrimes provides a nuanced account of the relationship between perceptions of indigeneity and autochthony, and citizenship, but also practical suggestions on how the negative aspects of ethnic politics can be mitigated in a modern democracy.’ Gabrielle Lynch, University of Warwick, UK  ’This book brings the tormented history of the Nubians to new life by opening up broader and unexpected implications. Once the soldiers of choice for the British colonial armies, these Nubians now desperately defend their belonging as citizens of Kenya by claiming Kibera, one of Nairobi’s most overpopulated slums, as their ethnic homeland, invoking a doubtful colonial charter. Balaton-Chrimes creatively shows how this tortuous history raises important questions to notions of citizenship in general. Thus, she highlights how contributions from the South can open up new vistas to current debates in the North. At least as important is that her emphasis on a disaggregated approach to citizenship allows her to link it in positive and even promising ways to notions of ethnicity and autochthony.’ Peter Geschiere, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands

She has created a&#160;richly imagined world where magic is as real as courage, and where a young woman's heroism can change the course of history."&#160;&#8213;Tess Gerritsen, author of&#160;The Apprentice"Britain keeps the&#160;excitement high from beginning to end, balancing epic magical battles with the humor and camaraderie of Karigan and her fellow riders." &#8213;Publishers Weekly"Readers of epic fantasy and series followers will want this&#160;finely honed, skillfully crafted tale."&#8213;Library Journal&ldquo;The intermittent sense of foreboding is offset by&#160;a&#160;healthy dose of old-fashioned adventure&mdash;kidnappings, a noble thief, near drowning, divine visitations, ghosts, a visit to an upscale brothel, and some very bad knife throwing&mdash;that provides a satisfying temporary conclusion despite this being very much a middle novel with serious nastiness still looming.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Locus&#160;&ldquo;The gifted Ms. Britain writes with ease and grace as she creates a&#160;mesmerizing fantasy&#160;ambiance and an appealing heroine quite free of normal clich&eacute;s.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;RT Reviews&#160;&ldquo;This captivating fantasy is filled with adventure, action, and heroes. Karigan grows tremendously as a person and in the end finds her own place in this world.

The perfect lifeboat for anyone adrift in the sea of becoming.&rdquo;&mdash;Celeste Lecesne, co-founder of the Trevor Project and founder of the Future Perfect Project  &ldquo;Lovely, timely, and necessary for both children and adults.&rdquo;&mdash;LA Review of Books *&#160;&rdquo;Vividly and sensitively captures the struggle of being a child who just can&rsquo;t fit in and doesn&rsquo;t understand why. It is an authentic portrayal of childhood pain without an ounce of condescension. . . . While the book tackles big issues, primarily addressing being trans and queer and surviving incest as well as touching on parental incarceration, anyone who has ever been a sad or confused child will be able to see a little bit of themselves in Rowan and Sofie. . . . Everyone should read this remarkable, affecting novel.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews, starred review *&#160;&ldquo;This heartfelt, emotionally raw narrative delicately and respectfully covers incredibly complex issues (homophobia, substance abuse, sexual abuse, racism) that many young people around the world face, compounded by Rowan's status as a trans boy. Bean's debut novel for young readers is as difficult as it is hopeful, beautifully captured through a 10-year-old voice. A remarkable and memorable book!&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist, starred review &ldquo;A tender story . . . Queer and trans author Bean brings tremendous sensitivity to the tale of a young child exploring their identity and experiencing abuse. . . . A strong addition to any library collection.&rdquo;&mdash;School Library Journal

Mayquist is a novelist to watch.&rdquo; &mdash;Hannah Whitten, New York Times Bestselling author of For the Wolf &#160; &ldquo;Tripping Arcadia is a lush modern gothic tale, filled with decadent glamor and hidden secrets, where Donna Tartt meets Bernardo Bertolucci's The Dreamers. Kit Mayquist weaves a world as alluring and dangerous as an arcane poison.&rdquo; &mdash;Lyndall Clipstone, author of Lakesedge&ldquo;Kit Mayquist's deft ability to craft deliciously atmospheric tension, combined with his compelling, lyrical language made Tripping Arcadia a knockout powerhouse of a book I simply couldn't put down until I'd breathlessly inhaled it all. Don't miss this stunning debut.&rdquo;&mdash;R.H. Herron, author of Stolen Things and Hush Little Baby "A gripping, atmospheric read full of characters that will haunt your mind long after the book is finished. This novel seamlessly blends antique gothic sensibilities with burning modern questions of class, money, and status, all wrapped up in poisonously elegant prose."&mdash;S.T.

It is at once dark, deep, and opulent.... The ending is surprising with a twist I did not see coming. It is almost impossible to believe that this is Kit Mayquist&rsquo;s debut novel. I can&rsquo;t wait to see what he writes next."&mdash;Mystery & Suspense Magazine
