“Mirron E. Willis takes charge of this urban fantasy from the first word to the last…Willis has a grand time with street talk, straight talk, and sweet jive talk. He makes strong use of cadence, tone, and timing to bring this neighborhood to life. Winner of an AudioFile Earphones Award.”

“While not what we’re used to from Mr. Card, still gives us what we value in his writing…beautifully translated into an audiobook format that is well worth your time.”

“Card’s clever tale comes with sharp writing and crisp dialogue.”

“It’s a great read, Card’s take on his characters as sure as ever, his narrative rock solid, his dialogue crackling and authentic.”

“A fascinating tale, well constructed and with strong dialogue.”

“The ways that the mundane and fantastic intersect are completely believable, and the characters crackle with personality and attitude. Crisp, clean writing creates a vivid sense of place and plugs readers into a story they won’t want to see end.”

“Card has constructed a suspenseful fantasy thriller that, during the race to the last page, has one mulling over myth, morals, salvation, and will.”

“The author’s always elegant prose and storytelling talent add a dimension of grace and morality to his work, which results in a modern fable that belongs in most libraries.”
