“The skills honed in his YA fantasy series are on full display here in his vibrant world building, especially in the mythology of the alien tech. Paolini populates this universe with a large cast of interesting and relatable characters, and mostly avoids reductive good guy/bad guy dynamics, lending the story a sincere emotional depth. Highly recommended for fans of James A. Corey’s The Expanse series and for fantasy fans willing to try space opera.” — Booklist, starred review
“The rollicking pace, rapidly developing stakes, and Paolini’s confident world-building make them (the pages) fly by… A fun, fast-paced epic that science fiction fans will gobble up.” —Kirkus Review
“This is Paolini’s best book so far, skillfully done, brilliantly imagined and cleverly executed. It’s accessible and engaging and left us wanting more.”.” —Starburst Magazine
“Dazzles with otherworldly delights—and unearthly .” —Newsweek
