As strange, vivid and intricate as the alien biosphere at its heart, <i>Rosewater</i> is a fabulous book and Tade Thompson is <b>a writer of enormous heart and talent</b>. Just brilliant
A <b>fiercely weird</b>, <b>breathtaking biopunk tale</b> of alien invasion, <i>Rosewater</i> is <b>ambitious and smart and very, very cool</b>
<b>Mesmerising</b>. There are echoes of <i>Neuromancer </i>and <i>Arrival </i>in here, but <b>this astonishing debut is beholden to no-one</b>
<b>Smart. Gripping. Fabulous!</b>
<i>Rosewater</i> asks you uncomfortable questions about what is right, what is wrong, what you'll tolerate, and what is human
A <b>magnificent tour de force</b>, skilfully written and full of original and disturbing ideas
<b>You've never been anywhere like Rosewater.</b> And you've never seen an alien invasion like this. Tade Thompson will take you someplace <b>incredible, full of unforgettable characters and deep insight</b>. <i>Rosewater </i>cements his place as <b>one of our boldest and most exciting new writers</b>
In addition to providing <b>a gritty and intricately plotted science fiction mystery</b>, Thompson's opening of the Wormwood Trilogy considers what it means to be human
<b>Hugely satisfying</b> . . . a darkly beautiful gem
Hard-edged and <b>utterly compelling</b>
<b>Breathtakingly smart prose</b>
<b>Mind-expanding</b> and <b>utterly addictive</b>
