“The Memory Hunters is an ambitious and thematically rich beginning to what is sure to be a brilliant duology. It has everything I love about fantasy—innovative worldbuilding, heartstopping action, and characters that I’d follow to the end of the world, even if it involves diving too deep into unsettling memories. Tsai weaves a unique dystopian narrative that examines the sociopolitics of climate devastation, the biases of historical narratives, and the perils that come with resisting cultural hegemony.” — S. Hati, author of And the Sky Bled

“One of the stars of Mia Tsai’s The Memory Hunters is the setting itself; a future with discernable roots in our present, traceable through the threads of culture, geography, music and language that bind humanity as inextricably as the strands of mycelium make a forest into a family.” —Jacqueline Carey, New York Times bestselling author of Kushiel’s Dart

"The Memory Hunters is a gorgeous, haunting dystopia that will infect your blood with its hyphae and fruit inside your heart. Tsai is a master at building romantic tension, even as revelations unfold in a cascade of "oh shit, OH SHIT, OH SHIT," amidst a plot as complex as the story's world. The story surfaces deep questions of culture and institutional preservation, and who has the right to remember things. The yearning of Tsai's characters is exquisite, and the worldbuilding rich with detail and meaning. I'll be thinking about this one for a long time." —Yume Kitasei, author of The Stardust Grail

"The Memory Hunters is at once feral and tender, fierce and full of yearning. It’s a piercing examination of the ways museums uphold dominant narratives, of the violence of curation and the preciousness of land and lineage—all shot through with heart-pounding fight scenes and pure, undiluted sapphic angst. Absolutely devastating." —P. H. Low, author of These Deathless Shores
