"The best post-apocalyptic novel I've read in years - it's dark,
deep, and doesn't conform to the dystopian tropes we've all come to
expect."-- "The Mary Sue"
The Fire Sermon is an undeniable page-turner... At the heart of
Haig's worldbuilding is a precious love story between Cass and a
fellow Omega on the run named Kip. The writing surrounding these
two beautifully demonstrates Haig's craft. If you thought Peeta
Mellark had a big fan club, just you wait. There will be copious
amounts of kissy fan art and montage videos. You can count on it.--

"Readers who enjoy the Hunger Games series, Pierce Brown's Red
Rising, and like-minded dystopian literature will enjoy this first
title in a trilogy."-- "Library Journal on The Fire Sermon, starred
review"
A potential heir to the Hunger Games."-- "Vulture"
Words like 'masterpiece' and 'instant classic' are cliché, but in
the case of Francesca Haig's astounding The Fire Sermon, they're
the only words to use. It's a breath-taking, passionate, absolutely
sensational work of imagination, perfectly structured, beautifully
written, populated with fabulous characters and packed with
intrigue, violence, compassion and underlined by a very important
human message that is always present without ever becoming homily.
The Fire Sermon is completely without equal - it leaves Hunger
Games, Divergence, Twilight blah blah-yawn twitching in the dust.--
