Maurice Gee's story is a sequel to The Halfmen of O and has all the fast pace and gripping invention of its forerunner. ...Susan and her allies are set the daunting, blood-strewn task of turning that system around and restoring the truth, banishing fear. All fantasy readers will relish this one.
David Bennett, Books for Keeps
This was a worthy sequel to The Halfmen of O and another dose of strong epic fantasy. What I like about Maurice Gee's writing for children is that he doesn't shy away from or sugarcoat the violence and horror of an oppressive regime. And his fantasy world is beautifully evocative of his native New Zealand.

Expertly crafted.

I think Gee’s politics are pretty sound. I know my worldview is still essentially the same as when I first encountered O: the balance of humanity is of out of whack, government is corrupt, our greatest evils are enacted in the name of faith. Maybe we do just need to wipe the slate clean and start again? For that’s pretty much the solution Gee proposes for humanity.
