It's harrowing and heart-rending, but at the same time the rush that surrounds every step of the race makes it an addictive read...

High tension, epic adventure and a very feisty heroine, this would suit fans of the Hunger Games and X-Men to All The Light We Cannot See (South Wales Evening Post)

An absorbing, exciting and interesting novel with a great central character (The Bookbag)

Yael joins a long list of strong female leads - warriors, really - in young adult fiction, who prove their worth by exceeding expectations normally associated with males. Her desire for revenge is palpable and her determination well portrayed.

This is a smart, many-layered thriller that not only kept me right on the edge of my seat but kept me guessing right up until the final, scary, and completely unexpected twist. An alternate history, a brutal race, a secret mission, with a pinch of sci-fi to set it going - hands down to Ryan Graudin for coming up with something so entirely different. (Waterstones.com)

Ferocious and challenging (The Daily Telegraph)
