Min's nuanced feelings about her magic, her family, and her fox heritage are marvelously complicated. I loved her, and I know you will, too!"
--E.K. Johnston, #1 New York Times best-selling author of Ahsoka

"Who would have thought Korean mythology would make for such an intense and magical space opera! I loved every moment of it and want the next book NOW so I can explore all the Thousand Worlds with Min! This book is brilliant and gorgeous, and why didn't I have it when I was a kid "
--Ellen Oh, author of Spirit Hunters and the Prophecy series

"With crisp dialogue, a winning protagonist and a propulsive plot, this tale is enormously entertaining."
--New York Times Book Review

★"Lee has created an adrenaline-filled space opera with mythological creatures living alongside humans. It is refreshing to see both Koran elements and a nonbinary character seamlessly integrated into the storyline. A high-octane, science-fiction thriller painted with a Korean brush and a brilliant example of how different cultures can have unique but accessible cosmology and universal appeal."
--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

★"Lee skillfully weaves Korean folklore into this space opera narrative, creating dynamic and relatable characters. With ghosts, pirates, and a rollicking space adventure, there's a little something for everyone here."
--School Library Journal (starred review)

★"Lee offers a perfect balance of space opera and Korean mythology with enough complexity to appeal to teens."
--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Lee has a knack for world-building. His richly detailed, cohesive, original vision is a lively mash-up of outer-space sci-fi and Korean culture and folklore."
--Horn Book Magazine

"The Korean-mythology-in-space setup is great fun, with supernatural beings and ghosts aplenty, spaceships that run on technological and spiritual energy combined, an entire planet populated by ghosts, and bountiful space hijinks and derring-do."
--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

PRAISE FOR TIGER HONOR

"The Thousand Worlds universe continues to thrill with the lure of Korean mythology, the action of space battle, and the personal struggle to act with honor. Fans will demand more."
