I think this is a great continuation to the series and as usual Conor Kostick does a wonderful job of blending fantasy and high tech ideas. The plot is full of engrossing adventures and unexpected turns; and plenty of awesome battles of course.
(goodreads.com)the eagerly awaited third in the trilogy ... develops the themes begun with Erik’s self-recreation and Ghost’s pugnacious longing for a personal history ... at the centre is the question of what makes you who you are ... Nowhere is this more subtly and yet forcefully drawn than in the closing sequence.
(INIS)futuristic
(Loose Leaves, The Irish Times)A unique book
(goodreads.com)will appeal to fantasy and sci-fi fans alike, and of course, gamers will enjoy the references to gaming spread throughout.
(goodreads.com)never heard of (this series) before this week. It sounds brilliant though, and I love the covers, especially Edda!
(Wondrous Reads)a striking demonstration of the continuation and playfulness of story itself ... The games people play, literally and metaphorically, are complex, and Kostick’s novel offers a challenging initiation into the rules and conventions ... At a time when so much young adult fiction seems determined to shock its readers with its sensationalism or bore them with its banalities, it is refreshing to read a novel that steers well clear of both tendencies ... its themes, structures and allusions will make many demands of them ... a narrative typified by dramatic encounters and populated by a richly varied cast of colourful characters ... an extremely poignant quest for selfhood
(The Irish Times Weekend Review)Just as Saga exploded beyond opener Epic, this third volume ratchets up this science-fiction gaming series to a whole new level ... Combatants clash; worlds clash (techno/punk, traditional fantasy, military); philosophies clash (pacifism, preservation, revenge); loyalties hold steady ... Humans, electronic beings and servers are separated by light years and metaphysics, but Kostick’s action-filled series conclusion is immediate and relevant.
(Kirkus Reviews (USA))it’s got all the winning ingredients of the first two, including some theories that are liable to wreck your head if you gave them too much thought.
(Oisin McGann, www.oisinmcgann.com)This is a BIG story, an intricate, complex narrative which interweaves sci-fi and fantasy ... Kostick's genius lies in allowing his readers to empathise with the book's characters as they negotiate the fantastic worlds he has created for them.
