'A lush, spellbinding tale with dangerously enchanting characters, A Hunger of Thorns is filled with gorgeous emotion and sapphic yearning that will leave you breathless.'
- CS Pacat

'Maude's quest will take you to deep, dark, festering places and bring you soaring back out into the light.'

- Scott Westerfeld

'Wilkinson crafts a lovely fairy tale of childhood fierceness, curiosity, loss and finding.'
- Catherynne M. Valente, author of The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making

'This is my kind of fairy tale: visceral and dark, lush and lovely, and filled with feral girls who know how to save themselves. A Hunger of Thorns is a beautiful, ferocious vine that will work its way inside you and linger.'
- Kate J Armstrong
