“Sullivan’s novel jam-packs a lot of elements into the story but does so in a way that’s not overwhelming.” Kirkus Reviews
“A genre-bending masterpiece that is guaranteed to thrill readers…a fascinatingly wild ride.” – Rising Shadow
“Sullivan (Maul, 2006) is writing high-concept mode here, much like Claire North and AdamRoberts; and, like them, she challenges the reader to follow a complex story and piece together a sense of aworld very different from ours through clues buried in the narrative. It can seem a daunting process; therewards are significant. Once readers throw themselves into the middle of the narrative, Sullivan’s storybecomes an all-enveloping, mind-expanding experience.” - Booklist Starred Review
