“Ribar deals with surprisingly heavy themes in this sequel, despite the lighter-than-air premise, including the pressure to conform, the construction of self and the ever-evolving nuance of what is the “right” thing. Despite its fantastic drapery, the truths this novel reveals are so real it may even make readers a bit uncomfortable–that’s quite an achievement.” — Kirkus Reviews
“Ribar has delivered fans a fun romantic read with some deliciously exciting paranormal elements (shape-shifting anyone?) while casually tackling bisexuality, consent, and the importance of balancing power with humanity.” — School Library Journal
