Reviews

'Impostors is classic Westerfeld - whip-smart and packed with action and feels in equal parts. A wild, edge-of-your-seat ride that will thrill UGLIES fans, and blow your socks off if you're new to this unique take on a dystopian future. IMPOSTORS delivers everything we adored about the UGLIES trilogy (hoverboards! explosions!), but with brand new characters, twists, political intrigue and feels.' - Lili Wilkinson

'It's hard to do justice to a premise this good, but Scott Westerfeld makes it look easy. Impostors performs a kind of literary judo, flipping you over every time you think you've guessed the next twist. With spy dust, flash tattoos and jump mines, the world is full of wonder and menace. Frey is a damaged, determined and dangerous heroine - I can't wait to read more about her. Overall, Impostors is the best YA I've read in years. Truly dizzy-making!' - Jack Heath
