Booklist
"This sharp-witted, galaxy-spanning sequel to Broaddus's Sweep of Stars entertains while setting the stage for an explosive series finale. . . . The results allow for deeper explorations of the nature of empire and the costs of exodus, without veering into didacticism. . . . The Astra Black trilogy continues to be a must-read for fans of afrofuturism."
