"I wholeheartedly give Migration 4.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for any teenager (or teen-at-heart) who likes viscerally-described action, great world building, interesting spirituality, and fascinating real world parallels. It’s well and truly a match for The Hunger Games, leaves The Maze Runner for dust, and makes Ender’s Game look well and truly boring. Best of all, it was written in Aotearoa and demonstrates exactly how strong our country’s writing game is."
