Gemsigns

It's more of an experience than just a mere story, a new world rather than a mere novel. It's very possibly one of the best things I'm going to read this year. Social sci-fi just doesn't get any better than this! * Bibliotropic *
A fascinating and compelling read, exploring the boundaries of human behaviour, religious influences, and the morality of the everyday person. It comes highly recommended * Starburst magazine *
A smart, confident debut . . . It touches of themes of slavery, of fear of the unknown other, on religious symbolism and ethical questions * Fantasy Faction *
Absolutely amazing . . . Unmistakable talent and great story-telling mix well * Speculating Spec Fiction *
An incredibly emotive read . . . hugely gripping * SciFi Now *
An intriguing, well-written and well-conceived novel * For Winter Nights *
Saulter writes extremely well. Her prose is fluid, unpretentious and nicely composed . . . A powerful commentary on contemporary society and politics, excellently written. Gemsigns is a must-read * Civilian Reader *
Takes on a tough subject, treats it with honesty, and comes out making the reader feel better about things * Two Dudes in an Attic *
Well-written and thought provoking, Gemsigns is an all-around superb debut from Stephanie Saulter, and another winner from Jo Fletcher Books. 4.5 out of 5 * BiblioSanctum *
An intense, compelling read * The Examiner *
[A] political dystopian thriller with a lot to think about. It's a dark look at technology, corporations and control * News and Sentinel *
A winner * The Quillery *
An incredibly powerful story . . . forces the reader to truly examine all their light and darkness in a mirror that hides nothing. Gemsigns is shockingly ambitious. It's uncomfortable and telling. This is a book about what makes us human. I can't, honestly, give this book enough praise * Bookworm Blues *
Stephanie Saulter's novel of politics, philosophy, science, corporate greed, and slavery will make you reconsider "human" * BoingBoing *
Saulter creates a world that is visually engaging and peopled by characters who lift off the page and worm their way into your imagination * Susumba *
