“It’s properly, wickedly exciting – I devoured it! How Anders packs so much power and energy into her prose is astonishing. These characters – and the adrenalin, the sheer excitement- will live on in my head long after the last page. Glorious. And the most amazing thing of all is her imagination – to think of a new evil superpower for a villain should be impossible. Completely impossible. Everything’s been done, every sodding thing. Until this arrives. Dazzling. Horrifying. GENIUS. A beautiful book. I loved it, can you tell?!” —Russell T. Davies
