[A] wonderfully entertaining puzzle wrapped inside an adventure
story
*The Guardian*
A fabulous and satisfying novel
*SF Crowsnest*
An excellent adventure that's sure to keep readers on their
toes
*Publishers Weekly*
A fun, character focused bottle mystery that shifts settings like a
chameleon walking across a rainbow carpet
*The Quill to Live*
Entertaining and thought-provoking
*Locus*
Pirates in space, full of peril and high-jinks... This is a novel
that's elegantly plotted, full of surprises and, as first time
round, rip-roaring fun.
*SFX MAGAZINE*
Reynolds is easily one of the modern masters of science fiction...
addictive, page-turning stuff.
*STARBURST*
This is a story to break hearts and make you turn pages. It's great
stuff; pick it up, you'll want to know what happens next.
*SF AND F REVIEWS*
Much of the fun of these books comes from the construction of a
far, far-future space-opera... the mapping of Age of Sail tropes
onto space travel is just the start... Nevertheless, at the centre
of this baroque masquerade party resides a sober consideration of
what it might mean to go off adventuring, what it might cost.
*LOCUS MAGAZINE*
