Praise and Reviews
FIVE STAR REVIEWS!
"I really enjoyed my read of Sarah O'Donoghue's first novel. The book is
fun, well paced and plotted, with characters that felt simultaneously
new and familiar. What I loved most about the book, though, was the
world-building; after reading, I wanted to know more about the worlds
that Shonoka and the mysterious Varin inhabit, and I wanted to
experience more of their adventures. The storytelling method works,
although it does take a bit of getting used to. Still, in a novel
featuring time travel, one can hardly expect the story to proceed in a
linear fashion!
Overall, a delightful romp I'm looking forward to experiencing again on a reread.

"Primortia is an excellent first novel, and we can only hope that
O'Donoghue will continue to explore the world she has created here--and
provide answers to a few remaining questions--or to apply her
world-building skills to an exciting new project.

"For someone who has not read a sci-fi in over a decade this was a
surprising and intriguing read. The descriptions of the Sanctuary are
captivating. Lucid prose,vivid descriptions and the pacy adventure keep
you reading more. An intelligent and original plot which one could realy
imagine appearing as a TV serial...I am hooked and look forward to the sequel!" (Review on Amazon.co.uk)
"A fantastic read! The author has cleverly written this gripping book
that really does get you thinking. Once you start reading I guarantee
you'll keep on reading! It's probably the most exciting book I've read so
far this year and would definitely recommend it." (Review on Lulu)
