What the reviews are saying

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“The Everling and The Acid King by J. Christie is a wildly inventive and emotionally charged science fantasy adventure that takes the beloved ‘magical school’ trope and electrifies it with sharp edges and adult stakes. […] The Everling and The Acid King is an unforgettable, genre-defying debut that fuses fantasy and science into something truly unique and emotionally resonant […]”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
" [...] The Everling and the Acid King is a fever dream of found family, hidden trauma, and secret power. There’s sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and humor, and it all blends in a way that works better than it has any right to. I closed the book, still buzzing from it. [...] this story zaps you out of your comfort zone [...]. I don’t know what’s coming next in this series, but I’m in."
