Wonderful and mind-blowing and exhilarating and heart-stopping. What a storyteller! I loved it! * Russell T Davies * I'm completely gripped by this story of revenge, redemption and dragons from the double Carnegie Medal-winner. -- Fiona Noble * The Bookseller * A summer blockbuster of a novel: exciting, clever and moving. Somehow, Ness just keeps getting better. * Juno Dawson * Ness brilliantly juggles these multi-layered themes and twisting plot lines while creating a world where dragons are as richly imagined as humans and engage our emotions just as forcefully. He is a remarkable talent. -- Sally Morris * The Daily Mail * With two Carnegie medals to his name, Patrick Ness is a literary giant in young adult fiction, and his books remain gloriously original and unpredictable… Mind-bending in the best possible way. -- Fiona Noble * The Observer (The New Review) *
