Brilliant storytelling. Riveting and unforgettable.
Lauren Kate, author of FALLEN
In Ixion, Marianne de Pierres has constructed the perfect metaphor for teenage anxiety: a foreign world loosed from all past certainties, inhabited by symbolically costumed cliques engaged in complex hostilities. Your worst fears lurk just off the poorly lit paths, and the only relief comes from the brief sleep of the petit nuit, or in surrendering yourself to the music that throbs through the clubs. Read BURN BRIGHT and feel a shiver of recognition, even as Ixion's strangeness casts its spell.
Margo Lanagan, author of TENDER MORSELS
To enter the endless night of Ixion is to enter a darkly glamorous world in which danger and pleasure dance to an intoxicating beat - as irresistible to us as it is to Retra.
Isobelle Carmody, author of THE OBERNEWTYN CHRONICLES
The world created by de Pierres is fascinating, strange, and dangerous ... It is a riveting read!
Rebecca Kemble, Reading Time
I seriously LOVED this book. In a YA market fast becoming saturated in dystopia's BURN BRIGHT shines out in the crowd ... It is fantastically original, creepy, riveting and atmospheric ... I LOVED THIS: It's dark and wild, unpredictable and somehow enchanting.

An intense, unpredictable and addictive page turner! ... The world building is utterly convincing and just bewitching. Ixion is an exotic, inviting yet terrifying world all at the same time ... Seriously, no one should miss this awesomesauce of a book!

One of the most exciting worlds I've encountered since Scott Westerfeld's Uglies series, or Isobelle Carmody's Obernewtyn, and it will surely appeal to fans of both. Ixion is such an easy place to get lost in, helped along by strange, wonderful characters and Marianne de Pierres's lush writing, which at times feels like you're floating through a dark dream ... Burn Bright really is a book that takes your breath away.
Holly Harper, readings.com.au
Burn Bright is absolutely raw and intoxicating. Set in a world of dark intrigue and deadly secrets, the book offers non-stop twists and turns with a brilliant lead character! ... Do yourself a favour and pick up Burn Bright if you're a fan of dystopian fiction.
