Critics Review

STARRED REVIEW “[N]onstop adventure while giving readers plenty to ponder about the value of honor, commu­nity and cooperation.”– “BookPage”STARRED REVIEW “Hardinge and Gravett pair up again in a short, atmospheric tale told through Hardinge’s skillful fairy-tale prose and Gravett’s art, which intertwines, illuminates, and sometimes takes over pages altogether.”– “Horn Book Magazine”STARRED REVIEW “Hardinge’s evocative prose shares space with Gravett’s detailed black-and-white drawings that are fittingly accented with green, and together they build a world that effortlessly takes root in the reader’s imagination.”– “Booklist”STARRED REVIEW “Hardinge’s lavishly imagined setting is wholly original. Gravett’s ink drawings temper the horrors but none of the magic…Sumptuous worldbuilding and deft plotting make for a harrowing dystopian story that nevertheless thrums with hope.”– “Kirkus Review”STARRED REVIEW “Lush, quixotic worldbuilding and elegant yet visceral prose immerses readers in this kindhearted tale, which champions compassion and eschews isolationism. Green and graphite pencil-and-watercolor art amplifies the story’s shifting whimsical and unsettling tenor.”– “Publishers Weekly”
