by Ayize Jama-Everett
The adjectives used by reviewers when describing their experiences reading this novel are words like ‘powerful’, ‘fast’, ‘sleek’, and ‘cataclysmic’, this last one describing the ending. The excerpts I read seemed tight and clean, the pace snappy, the syntax sharp. –D. L. Keur, The Deepening World of Books
