Review

A very satisfying journey, by turns philosophical and riveting. -- Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) Tension's maintained by constant, subtle foreshadowing (rather than transparent cliffhangers), and the characters rarely feel safe enough for readers to relax. Hard to put down. -- Kirkus Reviews
