"Not since Philip Pullman's The Golden Compass have I seen such an original and compelling world built inside a book."
--Megan Whalen Turner, New York Times best-selling author of A Conspiracy of Kings

"I think The Glass Sentence is absolutely marvelous. It's the best book I've read in a long time. The world-building is so convincing, the plot so fast-moving and often surprising, and the ideas behind the novel so completely original. I love this book."
--Nancy Farmer, National Book Award-winning author of The House of the Scorpion

"I loved it! So imaginative!"
--Nancy Pearl

"An exuberantly imagined cascade of unexplored worlds, inscribed in prose and detail as exquisite as the ... maps young Sophia uses to navigate such unpredictable landscapes. A book like a pirate's treasure hoard for map lovers like me."
--Elizabeth Wein, New York Times best-selling author of Code Name Verity

* "Brilliant in concept, breathtaking in scale and stellar in its worldbuilding; this is a world never before seen in fiction . . . Wholly original and marvelous beyond compare."
--Kirkus Reviews, starred review

* "A thrilling, time-bending debut . . . It's a cracking adventure, and Grove bolsters the action with commentary on xenophobia and government for hire, as well as a fascinating system of map magic."
