“…an immensely entertaining mixture of rock and roll, introspection, and action.”
Booklist
“This is a fun adventure tale with a healthy mix of fantasy elements with science fiction elements…. The momentum credibly builds to a final climax with a suitably metaphorical ending full of faerie glamour and mystery.”
Book Spot Central
“The third outing for Lila Black (Keeping It Real; Selling Out) tackles the elusive world of Faerie, a place far from the stereotypes of legends. Robson's (Mappa Mundi) mercurial style suits her quick-witted heroine in a fantasy/sf adventure that is a good addition to most fantasy or sf collections.”
Library Journal
“Lila Black is one kick-ass bionic woman…. Impossible-to-put-down, the series stays quite interesting and I'm waiting for the next tale.”
Weekly Press/University City Review
“It's good. It's really very good indeed. I loved it.”
Peter F. Hamilton
“Fast, lucid, and engaging throughout, vivid with inventive detail and sharp with unexpected twists snagging the unwary reader…. I can't wait to see how they'll tackle what comes next.”
SF Revu
“You get pulled in by the novel's sheer energy. The cross-genre pollination of various ideas makes for a quirky read.”
Deathray
“Entertaining fusion of SF and fantasy spiced with sex, rockin' elves, and drunk faeries.”
Publishers Weekly
“This is by far the most entertaining book Robson has written, a novel packed with memorable characters and ideas but that doubles as holiday-reading escapism.”
SFX
“Think an enthusiastic melange of Laurell K. Hamilton's Meredith Gentry, Tad Williams's War of the Flowers, Anne Rice's The Vampire Lestat, a touch of Marianne de Pierre's Parrish Plessis, even The Bionic Woman or The Transformers, and you get an idea of how much fun this book is.”
