At no point was it slow, dull or unimaginative. The end had me shouting and yelling at my husband because it was surprising and I wasn’t ready. I said “WHAT the F***?!” and many other things, but it was such a GOOD ending. So, don’t let my expletives fool you.” – Darian Seese“I loved especially the relationship between Leon and Elena, different from many others. The age difference creates an almost father/daughter relationship that I appreciated so much. Their journey to the Waverrym is never boring and full of adventures. I found the end of the novel perfect.” – Fantasy Reviewer“This book had some of my favourite things in terms of characterization. I love cantankerous, old cynics, something Leon portrayed quite nicely. He's flawed and cowardly and just so realistic. I loved the back and forth between he and Elena too - their dynamic was really fantastic.” – Maggie Fried, Goodreads review “The space-bound setting, combined with a plot that finely balanced frenetic action with poignant moments, kept me on the edge of my seat.” – Conor, Goodreads review
