* Invictus is a creative, mesmerizing adventure... From start to finish, it will captivate readers with unique characters, intriguing concepts, and an adorable red panda. It would be a great disservice to this generation of action-packed cinema to dismiss this novel without attempting to bring it to the big screen... Invictus is a ride that no young adult reader should miss.--VOYA Teen Reviewer (starred review) Invictus gripped my heart. Graudin's achingly beautiful prose and thoughtful exploration of time, history, and identity create a stunning story. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough, and yet I wanted to savor each decadent sentence. Readers be warned, you'll want to stop time to live in this tale.--Roshani Chokshi, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Star-Touched Queen * Snarky banter, a clever setup, and a diverse and well-drawn cast elevate this rollicking, bombshell-laden adventure. Graudin's intricate worldbuilding brings the distant past and far future to vivid life. Readers who like their science fiction shot through with humor will be enthralled.--Publishers Weekly (starred review) * The story is well paced, and...deals with issues of trust, romance, and duty. This would be an excellent addition to most high school collections.--VOYA (starred review) A madcap, vivid time-travel tale with a strong ensemble, both indebted and cheekily alluding to Doctor Who and Firefly.--Kirkus Reviews A nonstop thrill ride from start to finish--I raced through Invictus at top speed! With this book, Ryan Graudin proves she can conquer any genre she turns her hand to. Fun, cheeky, high-stakes, and totally immersive, this story is wildly imaginative and brilliantly original. Jump on board without hesitation: You'll love Invictus.--Amie Kaufman, New York Times bestselling author of the Illuminae Files Graudin weaves the past and future seamlessly together into an epic canvas spanning generations. An incredibly intricate, brilliantly paced, masterfully written journey.--Marie Lu, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Young Elites I've loved all of Ryan Graudin's books, but I love this one the most. Time-traveling thieves skipping through history! Mind-bending in the best way.--Laini Taylor, New York Times bestselling author of Daughter of Smoke and Bone and Strange the Dreamer If the crew from Firefly somehow wound up as teenagers on the TARDIS and had to solve a Fringe-type mystery before time literally disappeared, you'd have something like Invictus.--Beth Revis, New York Times bestselling author of the Across the Universe series and A World Without You Swoonworthy sci-fi: that's something that doesn't come along every day.--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books This is high adventure with a literary bent, and it's held together by a lovable, ragtag crew-turned-family that wouldn't be out of place in Firefly. A well-researched, thoroughly enjoyable romp through the ages.--Booklist
