"Fans of Nury's other works, stories of slave revolts, and seeing
the comeuppance of reviled slave owners will find this an
outstanding and emotional graphic novel."
-Library Journal Starred Review
"A chilling yet inherently riveting and superbly crafted graphic
novel...not for the squeamish or faint of heart." - Midwest Book
Review
"Explores the mercilessness and brutality of slavery while focusing
on the complex humanity of those claimed by slaveholders." - Barnes
& Noble Sci Fi Blog
"Sometimes thunder and fury isn't the best way to emphasise horror
and atrocity ... Atar Gull is stunning. 5 out of 5" - Slings And
Arrows
"It's a stunning story, one that will sicken you as it thrills.
Nury doesn't shy away from the horror of the slave trade but builds
a compelling story of humanity around its sickening, depraved
madness ... What we have here, then, is a masterpiece. A beautiful
horror story, a fantasy anchored in our brutal, disgraceful
history, and a piece of art created by two practitioners at the top
of their game. Enjoy." - Grovel
