Trade Review“Perfect for fans of Deltora Quest and The Hunger Games, this suspenseful, action-packed adventure . . . invites conversations about dominance, oppression, and rebellion in our own world. Ambitious and provocative.” — Kirkus Reviews “Having similar tones and themes to Suzanne Collins’s The Hunger Games, this book would be enjoyed by those who like dystopian-themed novels.” — School Library Journal “There’s a hint of romance and fodder for discussions about bystander responsibilities, as well as the impact of emotional ties.” — Booklist Online “Astrid’s strong, stubborn character offers readers a magical heroine who’s fun to root for." — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
