Reviews
The breath-taking escapes, fight scenes, gut-wrenching interrogations, emotional encounters, and sheer inventiveness of the plot crackles with excitement and energy.
Bookrapt
Craw gets everything right. The action is exhilarating, the reveals are shocking, the quiet moments are poignant, and the emotional highs and lows are powerful and lasting.
Childrens Books Daily
This sequel was one of the better sequels that flows right on from where Spark (first book) finishes. The fast paced action and adventure keeps you hanging until the next chapter.
