''You can tell Beukes is having an absolute blast putting words on the page. Her fun is evident in the big, bloody action sequences; in the squirmy, almost retro grotesqueness of the dreamworm.'' - The New York Times
''An addictive, fascinating and compelling page-turner. With an original take on the many worlds theory.'' - Guardian
''Complex, challenging, gripping and thought-provoking. A morally thorny tale without clear-cut heroes or villains. Beukes does a skilful job of balancing desperate but very relatable hope.'' - SFX<>
