Reviews of Burndive

70%

Burndive is if anything even better than its predecessor on multiple levels, not least plot, writing and both character psyche and development. -- Vegar Holmen, The Alien Online

Burndive is a completely different novel than the first, and shows Lowachee's skill better than a carbon copy sequel. -- Steve Nagy, MardDust

Less of an action novel than its predecessor, Burndive is a space opera of character growth and change. -- J.B. Peck, Scifi.com

Burndive is well-written, emotionally fraught, set in a scary, complex world where no one is quite what they seem. -- Sherwood Smith, SF Site

Burndive is an engaging read, though slower in pace than Warchild, setting the scene for a third episode, which I look forward to very much. -- Hilary Williamson, Bookloons
