"Carina's adventures continue. This is a real rollercoaster of a book, lurching from crisis to crisis, but it's written in a totally believable way. It's not one of those that makes you think that it must have been written with cliffhangers for a serial, it ties together beautifully. It's heart rending and heart soaring in equal measure and I urge you not to miss it.

One of AM's greatest strengths as a writer (amongst the many) is her excellent characterisation, and this book is no exception. I've fallen in love with these people and this place, and I refuse to accept that they're not real! I was kept on the edge of my seat with the happenings and lost quite a lot of sleep being unable to put it down until I knew the outcomes - which, by the way, did not disappoint!"

"The attention to detail is superb, as is the believability of this alternative history existence. It is a skilfully and intelligently written story, with first-class production and presentation: all indie books should aim for this professional standard."

"Ms. Morton takes her readers for quite the ride in this book, and passages of introspection vie for space with fast-paced action scenes that have this reader holding her breath – or chewing her nails. While Ms. Morton writes strong and fluid prose, it is her dialogue that blows me away. Pitch-perfect, distinctive and vivid, it brings Carina and all the rest to vibrant life, offering insight into the various character’s thoughts without ever sacrificing rhythm and pace."
