Critics Review
Under the Iron Sky is fresh, engrossing, brilliantly energetic. A.T. Emerald has crafted a gorgeously realised world savouring of Mad Max and Pitch Black. The combat scenes are vivid, the enemies-to-lovers throughline goes hard on the enemies (to my vast delight), and a juicy vein of cynicism seeps through the characters’ voices. An exhilarating ride. – Brigitte Knightley

Whether it’s the dragons or the crackling chemistry between Soraya and Ikarus, Under the Iron Sky burns with tension from the first chapter to the final page. A.T.
