“Khaw’s and Kadrey’s styles are a perfect match throughout, melding Kadrey’s knack for punchy action sequences and Khaw’s talent for gorgeous descriptions as they maneuver their enormously fun cast through a filthily rendered New York. Fans of urban fantasy, neo-noir, and pulp horror won’t want to miss this raucous adventure.”–Publishers Weekly, starred review
“Told with dark humor; excellent world-building that never sacrifices the fast pace; an engaging narration with multiple points of view that allow the characters to fully develop;…action sequences that are as fun as they are visceral; and a scathing rebuke of capitalism, this is an original, thought-provoking, and entertaining title that will call to readers from multiple dimensions.”–Booklist, starred review
“A world of invasive demons, technology pantheons, and gruesome monsters holds a mirror up to the cruelness of humanity, but beneath the blood and body horror is a heavily-bent-but-not-broken protagonist who will take on the darkest monsters and gods to save those she cares for.”–Library Journal, starred review
