I fell into this book and didn't come out for a long time -- Everina Maxwell Gorgeously written, clever and captivating -- Kristyn Merbeth A careful exploration of what we would do for power, and beautifully written; there were passages I had to read all over again just to savor. Fans of Arkady Martine's A Memory Called Empire will find much to love in these pages -- C. L. Clark, author of The Unbroken Takes the larger-than-life figures of the ancient world and recasts them against a backdrop of drowned worlds and interstellar empires with extraordinary verve -- Emily Tesh Beautifully written, with poise and wit and grand epic sweep, The Stars Undying has everything I want from a space opera -- AK Larkwood Deftly wields the conventions of science fiction to make old stories new... I did not know I could weep for Antony, love Cleopatra, or lament Caesar, but through Ana, Gracia, and Ceirran, I do -- Maya Deane [An] epic and extensively detailed debut . . . for fans of plot-heavy space opera - and particularly classicists who enjoy SFF - there's much that will appeal in this galaxy of clever, casually queer characters scheming and double-dealing through the stars -- Publishers Weekly
