What the papers say:
Reviews for the book: ""a gripping read...a beautifully narrated, warm thriller of a book, full of inventiveness, action and passion"" The Guardian ""In terms of imagination and sheer scale, it's as ambitious as books get...think Star Wars and then some"" Daily Telegraph ""Positively surreal imagery, a fast-moving adventure and a cutting satire all in one. An original and striking read."" Melvin Burgess ""An accessible, rebellious and fast-paced adventure and, as you would expect from the author of Shadowlands, a heart-wringing celebration of love."" The Sunday Times
