Review:
"an assured and accomplished debut novel ... an absolute gem" (Interzone)
"A fantastic blend of worldbuilding, excellent storytelling and complex characters." (John DeNardo SF Signal)
"Swift’s first novel, with its brilliant near-future vision of an ecologically and socially devastated world and characters who resonate with life and passion, marks her as an author to watch." (Jackie Cassada Library Journal)
"A glittering first novel: a kind of flooded Gormenghast treated with the alienated polish of DeLillo's Cosmopolis. The result is a gripping novel, readable, beautiful, politically engaged and wholly accomplished. Swift is a ridiculously talented writer." (Adam Roberts)
"Dystopia is back ... it's the characters, and what their lives show us of the fascinating, stratified world of Osiris, that are the heart of this promising debut novel" (SFX)
