"Exuberant and insightful. The rocket-powered pace and epic
world-building provide an ideal vehicle for what is, at heart, a
sweet paean to what it means to be human."----Kirkus

[An] exciting space opera.--Publishers Weekly
Nix once again proves his mastery of speculative fiction [as] he
manages to tell a tale that is grand in scope with vivid characters
and imaginative technology.--School Library Journal
(starred review)
Nix's fantasy has enough gadgets, escapes, battles, duels, deaths,
and near-death experiences to keep die-hard adventure story readers
enthralled. Happily, Khemri is also a thoughtful, winsome, and
somewhat complex character, and his cheerfully self-deprecating
tone and unpredictable choices make this romp entertaining on
multiple levels.--Horn Book (starred review)
