'Renee Hayes has crafted a richly detailed post-apocalyptic world with a plot that offers surprise after surprise, and well- developed characters with complex relationships that you absolutely root for, or love to hate.' Jamie Michele for Readers Favorite
'Smart, intimate post-apocalyptic fantasy where heroism comes at the cost of a curse. This intimate and surprising second entry in Hayes's far-future Rim Walker series follows up on the title of the first, The Girl Who Broke the World, as it explores hard truths that too many fantasies overlook. Again, Hayes deftly blends the magical and the post-apocalyptic as Zee traverses a fallen Earth 500 years in our future. This polished, often gripping fantasy builds to a tantalizing promise of conflicts to come.' BookLife Review for Publisher's Weekly - A-grade for book of outstanding quality
'The Girl Who Freed the Darkness is everything you'd hoped for and more in a sequel! The attention to detail is incredible, and I just want to dive into Zemira's world. The magic from book one continues in book 2 with some amazing plot twists. It's definitely the sort of book that needs to be read more than once!' Kaitlynd Power, ARC Reviewer
