Reviews

A gripping story with heroic characters. The scenes of aerial combat are thrilling, the whiff of corruption is chilling, but the tender romance between Amity and her beloved fellow pilot, Collie, is endearing. * Armadillo *
A book that will blow you away... From the palpable atmosphere of the book, to the vivid settings, to the cinematic and heart pounding fight scenes, to the world building that brings you entirely in to the book, to the complex plot full of shocking twists to the characters you come to love and root for... A fantastic start to a brilliant new trilogy that I can tell I'm going to be obsessed with. * Reality's a Bore *
A decisive tale of the oncoming of war- ironically set in a perfect world, where war is illegal... * Izzy Read, age 15, for LoveReading4Kids *
A gripping, fascinating thriller. * Lancashire Evening Post *
An intriguing and wonderful mix of dystopian fantasy linked with disconcerting reflections of history and military, plus its full of thrills, suspense, espionage and romance... I found myself completely immersed in this fascinating and original novel and quite simply didn't want to come up for air, I loved it and cant wait for the second in the series. * LoveReading4Kids *
