"Hocking - exceptional descriptive writer; quite possibly the most underrated author of YA fiction"

"I really like the first part of this book. It's got interesting characters and a wickedly good pace. It's exciting. Unfortunately, its over all too soon, and I found the second part lacking in both the interesting characters and the good pacing. It breaks down into long periods of exposition too often, and the characters, for the most part, seem to have personalities that simply fit the needs of the moment."
