‘Glorious and visionary with epic adventures and beautiful characters. It balances the line between grief and wonder, hope and fear. I was chilled, heartbroken and felt reflected in it too, but the story, it is glorious and visionary with epic adventures and beautiful characters! I loved it so much.’ Dara McAnulty; ‘A passionate adventure, full of incident, intrigue, wildness and rage.’ Sunday Times Best Books for Children 2021, Nicolette Jones; ‘Storytelling on the most poetic scale – strange, bloody, grand and unforgettable.’ The Guardian; ‘A magnificent adventure story.’ The Scotsman; ‘Career-crowning … globe-spanning tale of high stakes and cross-species comradeship.’ Observer best children’s books of the year; 'A hyper-imaginative book, bringing to mind the complete works of Philip Pullman with their sprawling cast of animal familiars, Yan Martell’s Life of Pi with which it shares a tiger on a boat – although this one has "fur like fire and soot, whiskers like strands of white wire, green eyes like the aurora".’ Jon Gower, Nation Cymru
