Recensioner i media

"An epic tale of treachery, deceit, sex, torture, violence, revenge and retribution." Independent on Sunday "Bloodtide and Bloodsong make The Hunger Games and its clones seem like drippy entertainments for bed-wetters and pillow-huggers." Anthony McGowan, Guardian "A scary but compelling view of a possible world to come." Kids Out "A story to curdle the blood and capture the imagination...(Burgess) has a fantastic imagination and draws out adolescent strong emotions very effectively." -- Kit Spring Observer "As mythology collides with sci-fi, you're dragged into a world of treachery and double-dealing as savage and bloody as that in any gangland saga." Daily Telegraph
