Praise

“Outer space royalty literally glitter in the first book to come out of Angry Robot’s 2020 Black Lives Matter Acquisition period. .”
– Den of Geek

“The world building here is lush and full of Dogon mythology, making you feel like a world you’d want to get lost in. This is an Afrofuturist tale that will have you rethinking how you see beauty.” 
– Book Riot

“A thrilling, accessible and endearingly hopeful novel, Where it Rains in Color is an uplifting read and an important addition to the Afrofuturist genre.” 
– ETHEREA SFF Australian magazine

Where it Rains in Color is a great novel…the universe painted is amazing.

“A technicolor Afrofuturist fever-dream of a book. Debut author Denise Crittendon has created a world and characters that are deep and weird, rich and beautiful, fully human and far beyond.”
– R.W.W. Greene, author of The Light Years

“A beautiful, expansive new world.”
– Publishers Weekly

“Mysteries lurk beneath the candy-colored surface of this novel, just as they do on Swazembi, the richly detailed and marvelously inventive setting of this luminous tale. A captivating story about trusting received wisdom, challenging the status quo and owning one’s power. I loved it.”
Khan Wong, author of The Circus Infinite

“Fueled by vibrant characters and a multi-variegated plot, Where it Rains in Color is an ambitious wide-screen journey that reimagines beauty standards and their relationship to the African Diaspora.”
