"Sparkling and sumptuous, Rubinkowski’s adventurous debut crackles with tension and yearningI was so transported into Strana’s icy world, I saw my breath in the air as the pages flew by." — Erin A. Craig, New York Times bestselling author of House of Salt and Sorrows “The Bright & the Pale is an action-packed adventure set in a richly detailed world where you never know who to trust and the twists keep coming! I was riveted right up until the final startling page.” — Amy Ewing, New York Times bestselling author of The Jewel "The icy atmosphere of this Russian-inflected debut novel is vividly rendered, and the briskly paced plot moves the story along through multiple twists, turns, and betrayals. An atmospheric series opener well suited for a cold winter’s night." — Kirkus Reviews "Debut author Rubinkowski paints a vivid picture of this mythological, Russia-esque land where fairy tales come to life and adventure rolls over every page. A riveting fantasy tale. Hand this to readers who enjoy Leigh Bardugo and are looking for a similar fantasy world to dive into." — School Library Journal "Drawing inspiration from Russian folklore, Rubinkowski offers an atmospheric fantasy debut populated by engaging characters and fueled by a strong premise, with a cliffhanger setting up events for the sequel." — Publishers Weekly "Rubinkowski’s Russian-inspired fantasy offers a fast, page-turning pace while offering a little bit of everything, expertly balancing elements of thriller, action, and romance. Readers will have a hard time putting this down." — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
