The beginning of a great saga...Fantastic worldbuilding sets the stage in this
debut novel, as Tochi Onyebuchi conjures up a busy market city inspired by his
Nigerian heritage and populates it with a group of outcast kids who shoulder
the sins of the rich and powerful...This is not the first fantasy book to take
more interest in the world than the story - it certainly worked for Tolkien,
and Beasts Made of Night could do much worse than to follow in those
footsteps. Onyebuchi has created a world that will no doubt inspire many in
turn.-NPR.org This compelling Nigerian-influenced fantasy has a wonderfully
unique premise and lush, brilliant worldbuilding that will consume you until
the last page.-BuzzFeed Onyebuchi's debut novel explores class, politics,
religion, and so much more, all in a world that is masterfully built,
sweeping, and imaginative.-Bustle Epic is an overused term to describe how
magnificent someone or something is. Author Onyebuchi's novel creates his in
the good old-fashioned way: the slow, loving construction of the mundane and
the miraculous, building a world that is both completely new and instantly
recognizable.-Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review The colorful, dynamic setting is
unforgettable in its darkness, inequality, and magic. The characters are
captivating, and the caste-like struggle between the haves and have-nots is
depicted in vivid, convincing detail by the Nigerian American author.
Onyebuchi demonstrates a special talent for worldbuilding, outstanding even in
a genre saturated with unique worlds.-VOYA, Starred Review Themes of
belonging, self-discovery, and inequity round out the richly imagined world of
Onyebuchi's debut, where war and dark magic are around every
corner...Onyebuchi's worldbuilding is vivid and beguiling, and Taj's outward
cockiness hides a core of vulnerability. A coming revolution will have readers
looking forward to the next book.-Publishers Weekly Onyebuchi crafts a
compelling tale for his first novel, seamlessly blending fantasy, religion,
political intrigue, and a touch of steampunk into a twisting tale of
magic.-Booklist Beasts Made of Night is an intense novel that touches on
powerful themes of justice, inequality and family. Onyebuchi's inventive
realm, combined with the Nigerian influences, ink the reader's soul and are
certain to leave a lasting mark on the young adult canon as well.-Shelf

pass up this vibrant tale.-RT Book Reviews Beasts Made of Night will bewitch
you. Taj will steal your heart without even trying, while his deadly world
will lure you in, leaving you spellbound long after the final devastating
page. -Stephanie Garber, author of the New York Times and Sunday Times
bestselling novel, Caraval Tochi Onyebuchi deftly balances humor and tragedy,
beauty and darkness. Beasts Made of Night is an exquisitely crafted,
imaginative and absorbing tale. Taj, the hero, is both imperfect and
hilarious-I wish we could hang out.-Sabaa Tahir, #1 New York Times bestselling
author of An Ember in the Ashes and A Torch Against the Night Tochi Onyebuchi

consequence. Taj's city is deep, vibrant, and terrifying. I don't think I'd
survive there, but I really need to know what happens next. -E. K. Johnston,
