"With echoes of influences as diverse as Orson Scott Card and Anne McCaffrey, this innovative adventure effortlessly draws readers into Lunar's predicament.... The pages turn so quickly that readers will get to the end almost without realizing it--then wait eagerly for a sequel."--Horn Book Magazine "January/February 2025"

"Reintgen's latest balances fraught interpersonal drama with expertly choreographed action and gleefully imaginative worldbuilding. The keenly rendered, racially diverse cast boasts jocularity, heart, and derring-do, enthralling readers while illustrating the revolutionary power of forgiveness and teamwork." --Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW "7/22/2024"

"In the world of the story, which is reminiscent of Mad Max and Star Trek, each celestial body has its own dragon avatar. The backstory is fairly well developed, and the short chapters are packed with action.... Fast-paced dragon flights and mid-space fights--plus underdog heroes who are easy to root for."--Kirkus Reviews "9/1/24"

"Nail-biting action scenes, relatable characters, and a fantastic new take on dragons--readers are in for a thrilling ride!" --A.F. Steadman, author of the Skandar series

"This fantastic first entry in the Dragonship series is incredibly imaginative, combining intriguing dragon lore, fierce friendships, and full-tilt action into a whirlwind story sure to keep readers riveted. It's part sf (dragon spaceships!), part fantasy, and all enormous fun, complete with a twist ending will leave the audience eagerly awaiting future installments."--Booklist "10/01/2024"
