At times laugh-out-loud funny, We’re All In This Together deftly taps into the fears and failures of all of us.” -- Toronto Star

PAPERBACK

Midwest Connections Pick Midwest Connections Pick “A Key to Treehouse Living is revelatory, a literary lighthouse that forges new routes of understanding. Every life is uncharted terrain, but Elliot Reed gives us a roadmap so that we might understand in more clearer terms how to transverse our terrifying, wonderful world.” – Rachel Kaplan, Avid Bookshop

“A powerhouse epic of humans and gods at war, deeply imagined and profoundly thrilling. There are echoes of Shakespeare and Le Guin in The Raven Tower, but its strange dark brilliance could only have come from Ann Leckie.” -- Lev Grossman, New York Times bestselling author of The Magicians
