Why read it?

1 author picked Edge of the Known World as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Edge of the Known World took me to so many places geographically, culturally and scientifically. It is a stunningly plausible science fiction that is beautifully and evocatively written. Sheri T Joseph describes the characters, situations, emotions in a way that keeps the reader immersed and turning the pages. There were unexpected twists and turns everywhere and it was a satisfying read and I can't wait for Joseph's next book.
