MR NIGEL E PALMER: Very clever parallel of fantasy and science .it has everything, a reluctant hero and a determined heroine, despair and hope machines and monster. A great story from a master of the art

Confronted by a demon that her mother, The Regent, seeks to ignore,bold Lynesse, Fourth Daughter, sets forth to save her world. And what she needs to succeed is a magician, which is where Nyrgoth, anthropologist second class, comes in.
This is an unforgettable stony, juxtaposing a world of swords and heroines with advanced technology. I just wish I could follow Lynesse and Nyr for a few hundred more pages. This spare and well written tale is not to be missed!

Jerry Skelton: A tome told with a prescience of, "I know this..", and yet its reveal is the taste of wonder not seen. Brava.

Kindle Customer: As unexpected a sci fi turn as LeGuin or Iain Banks, couched in a fantasy epic. Great characters. Great setup. Anthropology. Linguistics, post humanism, ethics, mental health, love, despair, etc. Worthy of sequels. Could be a franchise.

Edwin Mathias:
Who would have thought that a tale featuring two protagonists doomed to never fully understand each other, could be so satisfying?!
Definitely worth a read.

Sabine Korsukewitz:
der relativ junge und noch unbedeutende wissenschftler nyr wurde vor 300 jahren von seinen kollegen auf einem planeten mit einerintelligenten humanoiden rasse zurück gelassen und hat um kälteschlaf überlebt. seine anwesenheit in einem undurchdringlichen turm auf einem berg ist inzwischen zur lehende geworden.
lynesse ist die unbedeutende 4.tochter der königin und sucht bei ihm, dem zauberer, hilfe gegen einen dämonen, der das reich ihrer mutter verwüstet. nyr soll eigentlich nur beobachten und keinesfalls eingreifen. aber da seine kollegen wohl nicht wiederkommen und die prinzessin hübsch, schlau und sehr überzeugend ist…. hervorragend geschrieben, spannend, originell. adrian tschaikovsky ist ein neuer stern im sf-fantasy-universum und konnte schon bedeutende preise einheimsen. seine gründlichkeit und originalität erinnert an ursula k leguin.

Michael R.: An interesting take on a space faring dystopian society with a reluctant caretaker character, hero figure, and supporting characters .

Pibbsworth Zwischenlanken: This is a beautiful, heart-wrenching fairy tale told from two viewpoints: an abandoned wizard / anthropologist; and an impetuous princess / savior.

SF Reader: Absolutely loved the first 80% of the book, but then it crashed into nonsense.
