Reviews

Praise for Vows of Empire

“Vows of Empire was a thoroughly enjoyable read and everything it needed to be to conclude the series. Not only is this trilogy worth the time to read, but it is one of those legendary series that is worth a reread. Again. And again.”—Teresa Crider, creative writer

“A good blend of worldbuilding, fast-paced action, intrigue, but, most of all, complicated relationships . . . Those who enjoy exciting Young Adult LGBT Sci-fi or Space Opera should definitely give it a go.”—Books of My Heart

“Vows of Empire neatly wraps up the Bloodright Trilogy, providing satisfying endings for its trio. . . . Worth every second.”—Wealth of Geeks

“Readers will easily jump back into the complex political machinations of Skrutskie’s beautifully detailed world. . . . Skrutskie handily sticks the landing. Series fans are sure to be pleased.”—Publishers Weekly



Praise for Oaths of Legacy

“Oaths of Legacy is a wildly thrilling and fast-paced sci-fi adventure, and equal parts a heart-wrenching romance torn asunder by bloodrights and galactic war.”—Your Money Geek

“Skrutskie is a master of perspective.”—But Why Tho?

“Skrutskie’s breathless, brilliantly written action sequences and tear-jerking quieter moments will keep readers enthralled. [Oaths of Legacy] is a knockout.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Gays. In. Space!!”—Sam Maggs, author of Tell No Tales: Pirates of the Southern Seas

“Skrutskie sets her characters’ competing political and personal motivations against stellar battle scenes. . . . An engaging narrative that should satisfy existing fans and new readers alike. Recommended for fans of anime-inspired space opera and readers looking for queer relationships in their sf sagas.”—Booklist
 

Praise for Bonds of Brass

“A fast-paced space opera with heart and style, Bonds of Brass had me screaming KISS ALREADY on every page.”—Delilah S. Dawson, New York Times bestselling author of Star Wars: Phasma
