Praise for The Cerulean Queen

“Kozloff has great instincts when it comes to pacing, and the novel flies by with a good mix of action sequences and emotional, character-developing beats. Her villains are never one-note, and her heroes are complicated and fallible. The series ender is just as much fun as the rest of the books. An enjoyable, worthwhile end to an immersive series.”—Kirkus
