Critics Review
“A breathtaking space opera debut… Delving into serious sociopolitical matters without ever losing the shine of hope, this tense adventure packs a punch.”
–Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
“Highly recommended for fans of N. K. Jemisin’s Inheritance trilogy and Rebecca Roanhorse’s Between Earth and Sky series.”
–Booklist, Starred Review
“The Vaalbarans’ personal and political oppression of the Korikese calls to mind European conquests across the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Oceania… A strong debut with soft SF elements offering major crossover appeal for fantasy aficionados.”
–Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
