Beyond the End of the World

"Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner prove they are two living goddesses of writing, creating two compelling worlds with high stakes and gripping emotions." - Sarah Rees Brennan, New York Times bestselling author of the Demons Lexicon trilogy and the Lynburn Legacy series.

"Kaufman and Spooner, who also collaborated on the Starbound Trilogy, return with another richly drawn, tantalizingly romantic sf series starter. An especially action-packed back half will ensure readers come running back for the next volume." - Booklist

"Coauthors Kaufman and Spooner (the Unearthed duology) reunite for this propulsive, tender-hearted duology opener... evocative prose, escalating intrigue, and charismatic, predominantly olive- and brown-skinned characters with diverse sexual orientations and gender identities keep the pages turning." - Publishers Weekly

Praise for The Other Side of the Sky: "A vivid and compulsive thriller set in a beautiful, perilous world of myths and treachery. You won't want to put it down." - Laini Taylor, New York Times bestselling author of the Daughter of Smoke and Bone series

"I was left breathless by the book's twists and turns, and was unprepared for the ending-it blew me away. Stop everything and read it!" - C. S. PACAT, bestselling author of the Captive Prince series

"A complex, intricately woven tale, placed in an intriguing and unique world. This passionate story will thrill devotees of Kaufman and Spooner's "Starbound" series while also appealing to fans of Naomi Novik, Marissa Meyer, and Claudia Gray." - School Library Journal

"Strange visions and apparitions give the story a chilling edge, and a late revelation elevates these developments into entirely new territory. In a collaboration that, at times, evokes Lost, Titanic, and Romancing the Stone, Spooner (Skylark) and newcomer Kaufman do an excellent job of keeping their story from falling into clichéd romantic territory ... the external conflicts and underlying mysteries will keep readers guessing (and turning the pages)." - Publishers Weekly

"One of the most intense, thrilling, and achingly beautiful stories I've ever read. Kaufman and Spooner will break your heart with skilled aplomb, and you'll thank them for it. Absolutely incredible! If I have to, I will come to your house and shove this book into your hands." - Marie Lu, New York Times best-selling author of the Legend trilogy

"With rich, complex characters and a dynamic-and dangerous-new world, THESE BROKEN STARS completely transported me." - Jodi Meadows, author of the Incarnate series

"These Broken Stars is at its heart a love story. Voiced in alternate chapters, Lilac and Tarver are characters of depth, complexity, and strength, young people who alternately elicit the reader's admiration, frustration, and sympathy. While the book is the first of a promised trilogy, it stands on its own as a testament to love, loyalty, courage, and the power of good over dystopian greed and perversity." - ALA Booklist (starred review)

"Kaufman and Spooner couple an epic romance with dazzling science fiction in a tale that will appeal to lovers of both genres. This is a must-read." 5Q (Quality rating of 5/5), Best Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror List, 2013. - Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)

"First-time author Kaufman and coauthor Spooner begin their science-fiction romance in familiar territory and then chart a course that goes to new heights ... a wonderful tale that should appeal to both teen and adult readers." - School Library Journal
