"Kara is a bold and strong female protagonist who believes in words, not war – a worthy hero, who will inspire the girls and boys to whom this book will undoubtedly appeal." Emma Hughes, Books for Topics
"This book is so cinematic I ate popcorn as I read it, I kid you not. Every page sees the reader's retinas seared with images so lucid, if not a little hazy from desert dust, that it is impossible not to feel like you are living the action." That Boy Can Teach
"The amazing sun-blasted ruined world, described in meticulous, mesmerising and horrifying detail - is the real star." Read It, Daddy
"As with the first instalment, this is a pacey, action-packed adventure with moments of true grit and peril." Library Girl and Book Boy
"The book is straight into the action and is a page-turner of a read." Bonkers About Books
