Praise for The Fractured Prism ★★★★★ "I couldn't put it down. Lucid prose, a suspenseful plot, and characters you can't help getting invested in. Noble's dystopian world-building and insight are entertaining and thought-provoking, and the story is delightful. I whole-heartedly recommend this book." ★★★★★ "I purchased the eBook version last night and did not want to put it down. This book is filled with enjoyable characters and great writing, all tied together by a complex and meaningful plot. I was excited to find myself genuinely invested not only in the lives of the characters, but also in the fate of the People's Democratic Republic of Northern Mississippi. I can't wait to see what the future holds for this series " ★★★★★ "Noble paints a fascinating picture of a world where America is a monarchy ruled by a socialist regime. He deals with the theme of wholeness: in society, in individuals, in cultures. Noble mixes these intriguing themes with a lovely story of young love, deceit, and good, old fashioned, revolution.
