Praise for Islands at the End of the World:"Aslan's debut honors Hawaii's unique cultural strengths--family ties and love of home, amplified by geography and history--while remaining true to a genre that affirms the mysterious grandeur of the universe waiting to be discovered."--Kirkus Reviews, STARRED

"Debut author Aslan shows off his promise as a writer, delivering a
fresh, of-the-moment take on apocalyptic fiction. The ecology of Hawaii
and its mythology glow vividly as Lei awakens to her special connection
to the Emerald Orchid and its purpose. First in a planned two-book
series, it's an exceptional adventure and survival story that's
intimately tied to its setting."--Publishers Weekly, STARRED

"Aslan's debut is a riveting tale of belonging, family, overcoming perceived limitations, and finding a home."--School Library Journal, STARRED
