Critics Review

Gleam’s combination of dystopia, mythic quest, music and squishy monsters is hugely entertaining. Fletcher’s distinctive prose - alternating barogue description and brutal action - is spiced with witty dialogue and eccentric characters. 4⁄5 - SFX

The story flows nicely and the last hundred pages or so only made me want to read more. In short, it’ll be a long wait for the sequel! - Upcoming4meI for one look forward to finding out more … when The Factory Trilogy continues. - Tor.comA wild ride through a world rooted in bizarre and unfathomable traditions … Gleam is simply beyond fascinating … I quickly fell in love with this book. - BibliosanctumThere’s true passion in every written word … With such deep characters and a storyline that promises more in its sequels, Gleam is definitely not one to discard. 4⁄5 - SciFiNowAbsolutely one of my favourite books of the year … a sprawling, wild and highly engaging tale of a completely different world - one inhabited by the weird and wonderful, where dark secrets lie hidden and an eclectic and highly intriguing group set out on a quest to discover them - Liz Loves BooksGleam is a strong start to a very interesting world.
