Critics Review

“This is superior stuff, tackling big themes with brio.” – Financial Times

“As funny as it is thought-provoking.” – Publishers Weekly, starred review
“A richly original and humorous must-read for genre newbies and die-hard sci-fi fans alike.” – Starburst


“Tchaikovsky delivers a comical and riotous account.” – SciFiNow
“The kind of story that hooks you, begging you to read one more chapter before bed, before work or in any spare moment you can find.” – Aurealis
“Brilliant science fiction and far out world building” – James McAvoy on Children of Time – James McAvoy
“This is superior stuff, tackling big themes with brio.” – Financial Times

“For anyone who enjoyed Lev Grossman’s The Magicians or Seanan McGuire’s Every Heart a Doorway and who understands that the worlds next to ours may be filled with darkness.” —Library Journal
“Funny, exciting, creepy and most of all humane… A smart novel exploring our own world and reactions using fantasy.” —Run Along the Shelves
“Humour accentuates the serious themes: appreciating life and finding its meaning, seeing and fulfilling your purpose.” —British Fantasy Society
“Come for the quirky fantasy world and hijinks, stay for the examination of the purpose (both good and bad) of family.” —The Fantasy Review
“Combines middle-grade tropes, horror, humour, and excellent twists. It’s impressive how much he packed in.” —Fantasy Book Critic
