Overview

The new novel from the million-copy bestselling author of The Mirror Visitor Quartet Welcome to the School of Here, an unsettling and peculiar place that is nonetheless familiar to us all. A place full of codes and unspoken rules that are passed down from year to year. At Here, society is highly stratified, the pairs, friend groups, and outcasts are all ruled by a godlike prince. This year--as all other years--things are not at all as they seem. A self-effacing first-year student vanishes into thin air. A persecuted outsider delivers himself into permanent exile. A tyrannical upperclassman meets his match. A newly-minted prophetess tests her powers. And, behind the scenes, a cabal of students conducts a top-secret investigation into the unexplained phenomenon at the heart of it all. Back to school season marks the start of a time-honored cycle of revolution and rebirth in which each must play their part. With Here, and Only Here, Christelle Dabos - author of the international sensation The Mirror Visitor Quartet - gives readers an intriguing and penetrating novel that explores the difficulties of fitting in and the private, individual choices that make up the sometimes abhorrent, always unpredictable Collective.

Praise for Christelle Dabos and The Mirror Visitor Quarter The Mirror Visitor stands on the same shelf as Harry Potter. --ELLE Magazine Spectacular settings, exquisitely rendered characters. --Publishers Weekly (starred review) As mesmerizing as a waking dream. --Margaret Rogerson, New York Times Best-selling author of An Enchantment of Ravens Imagine the poisonous politics of Versailles in a glittering, steampunk world of quill pens, airships, masks, illusions and murderous courtiers. --The Wall Street Journal The Storm of Echoes is the final instalment in Christelle Dabos' Mirror Visitor series of four utterly extraordinary books. This series is probably the strangest, most compelling, frustrating, and addictive. From the first page of the first book, Dabos plunges the reader into an utterly hallucinogenic world where you can't quite believe what you're reading. It takes a while to learn it, but once you do, things start to make an illogical sense. --Quare Living Pulse-pounding suspense, memorable characters, rival clans and elaborate political arrangements rooted in myth. --The Buffalo News Looping wildly through revelatory sequences, the twisting narrative keeps readers on the edge of their seats from start to finish. Dabos' final installment offers a chilling but simultaneously euphoric experience. --The Daily Californian A series that is nothing like any YA book series on the shelves today. Ophelia is the type of character I love to read about: great at some things, terrible at others, brave at times, cowardly at times, brilliant at times, and frustrating at other times. I could read about her all day. --Barnes & Noble Review Your next YA obsession. --Entertainment Weekly Metaphysical mystery, compellingly in the wings for most of the series, takes center stage in the quartet's final installment. Political intrigue gracefully pivots to fraught introspection and identity turmoil, and the inertia of over 500 pages is easily overcome by the continued thrill of treachery and momentum of answers finally revealed. --Kirkus Reviews

"★ ""Enticingly peculiar...The novel will appeal to those who enjoy something radically different.""--Michael Cart, Booklist (starred) ""This is a gripping and disturbing read: sharp, intense and coolly observant of school day relationships and transgressions.""--Jamie Buxton, Daily Mail ""A dense fever dream.""--Kirkus ""Imagine all your middle-school nightmares made manifest. Add to that an eerie paranormal aspect that elevates the whole to the maximum level and you have this wildly creative and engaging tale of the middle school from hell.""--Eric Boss, Reading the West ""The book is interlaced with multiple different storylines (as is true of any good school!) -- at the School of Here, you'll find secret societies, magic, mystery, and students dealing with the loneliness and alienation that everyone feels at that young, pliant age.""--Powell's ""Dabos is a talented writer unafraid to tackle complex issues and it shows here...[her] writing is crisp and sharp.""--Chris Haigh, Set the Tape"
