"As usual Kailin Gow rocks out the YA genre with her work. I absolutely adore her books and think she's one to watch. This book, of course, was great! I love the world building that she did...For me, it's always just right. The characters in this one were great and I loved the storyline." - CajunBookLadyBlog "I think every book lover understands that words really do hold power, so when this book promised words used as actual weapons I was instantly intrigued. It definitely sounded promising and for the most part, I felt it lived up to that." - Jessica Blog "The story was great! I've always loved the idea of falling into a fantasy world, through a book or a movie.. or a game!" - Pieces of Whimsy Blog "Best Books of the Year!
