Winterveil

Julian, Klaudia, Nadiya and Giselle are each well-rounded characters in their own right, but the charm of Winterveil is in the ways they interact. The looming backdrop of a never-ending war also adds a sense of dystopian doom throughout the novel, contrasting the individuality of each character's coming of age with worldwide consequences. The novel sets up an entire world, allowing for the story to seep beyond the walls of a typical dark academia story.
Winterveil is full of mystery and heart, and as its ending sets up a sequel, prepare for another exciting series from Ava Reid. - BookPage

It's a tense, fast-paced race to a cliff-hanger of a conclusion to this duology starter. Each character is easy to root for and immaculately rendered as sympathetic, despite distinct flaws. An absolute must-read for dystopian readers and history enthusiasts alike. - Booklist Reviews (starred review)

"Reid is well regarded for her lyrical writing and nuanced characters; here she paints a vivid portrait of a world fallen to climate change and capitalism, juxtaposed against the ways love is redemptive. VERDICT A dark dystopian novel for readers craving something more mature than The Hunger Games. Perfect for high school collections." - School Library Journal (starred review)

"A dark and gripping feminist tale." - Kirkus Reviews
