""I couldn't wait to get my hands on Castoff, Crilly's followup to his amazing debut novel, Catalyst. I wanted more of his breathtakingly original world-a fractured planet now in pieces, held together by mysterious orbiting entities-more of the intriguing people he put into my head and heart, and, not least, to find out how he planned to resolve the surely impossible problems facing all. I'll not spoil any of this for you but suffice to say, Crilly does not disappoint. Castoff is powerful, elegant, and filled with new surprises, bringing this epic fantasy to a thrilling and satisfying conclusion. Crilly has a gift for portraying truly immense ideas and landscapes through the most intimate and personal of lenses, his characters, making his story utterly compelling to read. Bravo! Highly recommended."" - Julie E. Czerneda, author of the Night's Edge series
