“Robson’s prose and pacing are brisk and lively… An involving and original adventure.” –SFX
“It’s books like Hearts of Oak, stories that instil a sense of wonder, a thrill for the strange and the outlandish, that brought many of us to the genre in the first place. I loved it, and so will you.” –Locus
“Strange, charming, unpredictable, and full of unusual images, this is an off-the-wall delight.”–Kirkus Reviews
“Twists and surprises abound in this engaging sf adventure. A mesmerizing look at facing reality and what you believe to be true. Robson’s characters are well-rounded and themes of exploration and expansion undergird the playful prose.”–Library Journal Starred Review
“Entertaining and quite satisfying.”–Booklist
“Clever, emotional, and thematically rich, this is sure to please fans of classic science fiction.”–Publishers Weekly
“A far-out science fiction novel with all the right notes of a good supernatural fantasy. And it has an easy pace and an impending, looming darkness waiting ahead that will keep you planted firmly in your seat until you get to the last page.”–Borg
