" - Kirkus Reviews
"A wonderfully original tale - even better than the first.... Readers will be pleased with the satisfying direction that Chupeco decides to go in regard to Tea's love interests. The ending is equally explosive and delightfully romantic, and the conclusion really sets up events for the next title. These books have loads of potential to become a phenomenal fantasy series.

"A dark, engaging fantasy series.
" - School Library Journal
"Chupeco's lush prose ensure that the emotions-cringing horror, nail-biting suspense, swoony passion-will all be accounted for. Readers who enjoy complex, densely intricate political intrigues on a par with Marchetta's Lumatere Chronicles (Finnikin of the Rock, BCCB 3/10, etc.) are the best fit for this ongoing series." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"Chupeco has crafted a glorious world for her twisting, turning plot, rich with magic, exotic beasts, romance and treachery. The alternating narratives are masterfully designed, drawing readers ever closer to their inevitable convergence. A mesmerizing tale, this sequel is even stronger than its precursor.
