"The author's world-building is detailed and fascinating, and Uma
is a strong, admirable heroine. This is a must-purchase for
libraries owning the earlier installments and a great choice for
where teen fantasy is popular."--School Library Journal "A story of
courage and romance that readers will not soon forget. While Uma's
struggle to help the queen and save her people is intriguing, the
depth of her character reaches much further, exploring issues of
race, gender, and identity....The text will be a sure favorite of
fans of high fantasy."--VOYA "Both elegant and immersive."--BCCB "A
satisfying tale of a girl who must come to terms with her own
blended identity."--Kirkus
