Dazjae Zoem’s Wonderdark: The Awakening of Zuza releases in ARV-edition for advance reviewers the last week of December. We’re telling you first, dear readers, which means you get initial dibs on either a digital or print review copy. By requesting to sign on as a beta-reader, you pledge to provide an honest review of your experience reading Wonderdark.

The story:

Zuza isn’t exactly an adventurous kind of girl. Her idea of a wild night involves a sketch pad, or loaner book from Loomcity’s library. She rarely peeks her head out from under the comfort of her rock, even at the pleading of her closest friend Jaivyn, but there’s more to life than sketches and books, and dangerous though the near future may be for her, it will introduce her to a light she didn’t know she possessed, and teach her how to trust others gifted in similarly extra-sensory ways…

An excellent YA-read celebrating underrepresented indie culture, plant-eater ethos, and the brilliance of intentional dreaming.

Genre: Fantasy with Faery/Steampunk elements

How to request your review copy:

Drop a note in http://otherbox.tumblr.com/submit including the publication (whether on the Aethernets or in print), the email address you wish to have the digital review copy sent to, and the physical mailing address/po box the print copy should be mailed to if you prefer print. Please do not forget the email in either case, so we may contact you in the event of a glitch or curiosity.

If you’re selected as a reviewer, your copy will be sent out the last week of December, the first week of February, and possibly for an additional month after that (to be announced if so—- if not, only digital will be immediately available after February, barring very special requests say from a Queen Meta in Zambarau or something to that affect *_^).
