Critics Review
Reynolds does a remarkable job of using pop culture references–from Michael Jackson to Back to the Future–to establish a sense of time and place. As always, his command of language is masterly, with crackling dialogue, propulsive plotting, and adroit characterization: Readers will emerge with a rich portrait of the forces that created the man whose mentorship would have a powerful effect on so many young people. A beautifully executed victory lap for a beloved series. –Kirkus STARRED Review “November 15, 2025 Issue”
