"In the wake of her Printz Honor–winning Damsel, Arnold blazes a new and equally powerful trail through toxic masculinity. Read, shed your pelt, and be transformed—for blades are being sharpened." - Booklist (starred review)
“It’s unsettling how seamlessly Arnold incorporates dark fantasy elements of beastly wolves and cunning hunters into her all-too-realistic tale. A fantastic novel in the #MeToo era, empowering women to share their stories by reaching out, speaking up, and demanding a change.” - School Library Journal (starred review)
"This will satisfy readers looking for a vengeful overthrow of the patriarchy that recasts the victims as the victors." - Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
“At once a sharp critique of male entitlement and a celebration of sisterhood and feminine power, this story will linger with readers long after the final page.” - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"An ultimately empowering, and thoroughly immersive, feminist fairy tale." - Horn Book (starred review)

Praise for Damsel: “This incisively written allegory rips into a familiar story and sets it aflame.” - School Library Journal (starred review)
Praise for Damsel: “Arnold’s pitch-black fairy tale isn’t subtle, but this isn’t a tale that requires subtlety. For teens learning to transform sadness and fear into active, productive fury, it’s an essential allegory. Eat your heart out, Sleeping Beauty: this brutal, devastating, powerful novel won’t soon be forgotten.” - ALA Booklist (starred review)
Praise for Damsel: “Exquisitely written and unflinchingly, furiously feminist, Damsel is a gorgeous inferno of a fairy tale and my new obsession. Searing and audacious, with an ending that will leave you howling at the moon. A must for every collection.” - Claire Legrand, author of Furyborn
“Arnold uses an intriguing blend of magic realism, lyrical prose, and imagery that evokes intimate physical and emotional aspects of young womanhood. A timely and unabashedly feminist twist on a classic fairy tale.” - Kirkus Reviews
