Critics Review
”[O]ne heck of a tale. […] [Adra’s] quest eschews common hallmarks of the revenge narrative. […] Everything becomes funneled through Adra’s powerful and consuming anger, and Ames uses both the ship and the vast infinity of the ocean in which it travels as brilliant symbols for the central concept.” –BCCB, starred review
“A swashbuckling, Sapphic fantasy on the high seas.” –Kirkus Reviews
“A humorously antagonistic romance between the two pirate captains brightens a dark narrative exploring the things that happen when humanity is stripped from us […]. [Adra’s] swashbuckling adventures should be a first purchase for collections where pirate tales are popular.” –Booklist
“The perfect blend of high adventure and eerie, impactful horror, anchored by a standout main character and Ames’ glittering prose, The Devourer is one of my favorite reads of the year.” –Rory Power, New York Times bestselling author of Wilder Girls and Burn Our Bodies Down
