Reviews

"A fun and creative voyage with unexpected twists and energetic turns . . . . Rutkoski's creative imagery and beautifully descriptive thoughts create a world that you could happily get lost inside."
Deseret News
"Rutkoski builds on what worked in the first novel and heightens the stakes. . . . Strong characters and fast-paced plotting let this compelling installment stand independently, but the ending will leave readers eager for the next."
Publishers Weekly
"This book is a wonderful mix of fantasy, action, science fiction, and even a bit of romance. It is a real pleasure to find a book so smooth in its transitions. Though it is incredibly imaginative, the storyline is easy to follow."
San Francisco Book Review
