I’m excited to share the early reviews of The Kikiloa Chronicles. Ranging from big-time reviewers to a They totally got the book and loved it!
Kirkus Reviews: Our Verdict: ✓ GET IT and Featured Review.
“An engaging time-travel romp that mashes up Jung and Doctor Who to masterful effect. Like Jasper Fforde or Douglas Adams, Larson is one of a true minority of writers who can make cerebral science fiction both lucid and entertaining. This philosophical depth anchors the multiverse shenanigans in a tangible, and very human, reality.”
BookLife Reviews by Publishers Weekly: ⚡ Editor’s Pick
“Moving, surprising time travel story of the fight against entropy. With sharp prose, warm characterization, and the literary chops to make the heady ideas resonate at a human level, Larson spins a deep, winding epic about hope, empathy, and living in the moment…Lovers of humane SF will find much to relish.”
Literary Titan: ★★★★★ and Gold Book Award
“Imaginative, sincere, and bigger on the inside than it first appears. Kiki’s voice is especially interesting because she can be funny and reckless on the surface, but underneath that spark is someone carrying an almost unbearable amount of memory. She’s charming, but she’s not simple.”
The Wishing Shelf UK: ★★★★★
“Wildly imaginative, surprisingly moving, and unlike anything else I’ve read—Kiki’s voice stays with you long after the final page. Most of all, The Kikiloa Chronicles succeeds because it has a personality all its own. It’s funny, strange, imaginative, heartfelt, and unapologetically ambitious.”
Reader Views – Paul Knobloch: ★★★★★
“Beneath its multiversal scope and speculative imagination lies a surprisingly intimate story about learning to accept oneself and allowing others the freedom to become who they are. This is thoughtful, original, and emotionally resonant science fiction that leaves readers with much to ponder long after the final page.”
The US Review of Books: RECOMMENDED.
“Kikiloa at first feels like Gaia, a mother in Greek mythology, rising up before current generations blinked open bleary eyes. The writing mirrors Kiki’s personality, including unexpected turns or zingers, a contrast of daily life and time’s vast expanse, and a mystery right out of reach.”
The International Review of Books: Highly Recommended.
“An ambitious and deeply imaginative exploration of time, destiny, and the choices that shape our existence…A refreshing new take. Its unexpected conclusion lingers in the mind.”
I’m humbled and grateful for these thoughtful reviews, and can’t wait for you to read the book when it launches on July 21st!
