'The beautifully rendered retelling of [Frankopan's] masterpiece....The fact that so many people escape childhood without a real passion for history is more a fault of the lackluster storytelling skills of contemporary historians. The team of Frankopan and Packer are the exception extraordinaire.' (Foreward Reviews)
'Spellbinding....a pitch-perfect treasure' (LoveReading4Kids)
'The past need not be seen as linear or chronolgical, Frankopan conveys, but rather as an intersection of ever-evolving human experiences.' (Publishers' Weekly)
