"A swashbuckling steampunk mashup of Mark Twain and Philip Reeve's Mortal Engines Quartet." -Kirkus

"Smart and strong, [Poe] fights to protect her ship above everything else. Condie has created a well-rounded character who defies typical gender roles.... The story is well-woven and compelling." -SLJ
