An immensely readable, passionately written epic, with an involving, fast-moving plot constantly challenging readers' assumptions

Guardian

Young readers will find themselves swept along with Breslin's engaging cast into a world where duty and compassion must somehow co-exist

TES

Breslin brilliantly weaves the themes of emancipation, class, love, propaganda and the machinations of war into the story of how these young lives are changed with a light touch that belies the seriousness of the subject
