"This is a tale of coming to terms with one's past, both as an individual and as a culture, and the story, like the journey, builds in anticipation, slowly at first and then, as the journey embarks, building more rapidly to an intriguing climax. ... I found the book highly engaging and the characters quite interesting. I would recommend this to people who like light sci-fi, stories of alternate universes, and perhaps even those who like epic fantasy or Westerns."
"This tale is not a fantasy that I can directly compare to any others, it has a unique worldview, though not strange. The reasons-behind-it-all are the basis of the central mystery, and that is well done. It is, I guess, more of a cautionary tale than anything, in the end. However, the characters are very interesting and draw you into caring about their lives and how they are coping and changing. That drives a good story even more than interesting ideas or a good moral, and this book has a lot of great characters."
"Very well written book. An interesting plot and some engaging characters make for a good read. This story could have been plucked straight out of today's headlines which is something I like. There are some interesting twists that will keep you reading late into the night. Overall I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it."
