Recensione:
Smart, clever and abundantly original, with suspense that grabs your eyeballs, this is real science fiction for all ages . . . More! More! (Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review)
Chock-full of awesome. Ian McDonald's steampunk London blazes on a vast scale with eye-popping towers, gritty streets, and larger-than-life characters who aren't afraid to fight for each other. The kind of airship-dueling, guns-blazing fantasy that makes me wish I could pop through to the next reality over, join the Airish and take to the skies (Paolo Bacigalupi, Michael J. Printz Award–winning author of Ship Breaker)
Breakneck action . . . vintage McDonald, with beautifully drawn settings, complex characters and deft plotting (Guardian)
What joy to find science fiction based on real scientific concepts . . . In his debut for teens, established science-fiction writer McDonald builds a world just different enough to charm readers into believing . . . Shining imagination, pulsing suspense and sparkling writing make this one stand out. As Sen would say, "fantabulosa bona" (Kirkus Starred Review!)
McDonald writes with scientific and literary sophistication, as well as a wicked sense of humour. Add nonstop action, eccentric characters, and expert universe building . . . a winner! (Publishers Weekly Starred Review)
It's no exaggeration when I say these books in the Everness series just seem to get better and better... Action, adventure and rollicking good fun! Empress of the Sun has all of that. 5/5 stars (Bibliosanctum)
From the first book I was hooked . . . Empress of the Sun is a fantastic read . . .it's pacey and a whole lot of fun to read. This really is a story of unparallelled dimensions (The Book Plank)
?A great action-packed young adult book . . . the series is beginning to delve deeper into what it is to be a caring human (Brum SF Group)
Smashing adventure fiction that spans the multiverse without ever losing its cool or its sense of style. Ian McDonald is one of the greats of science fiction, and his young adult debut is everything you could hope for: romantic, action-packed, wildly imaginative and full of heart (Cory Doctorow)
