“Dani Martineck shines in presenting a confident character who feels confined in a disapproving world. ... Martineck’s narration makes it easy to differentiate the large cast of characters who are expressing emotions that range from despair to hope.”

“Dani Martineck’s quiet narration, full of longing and anger, sometimes wry and sometimes earnest, is as richly layered as this remarkable novel.”

“Narrator Dani Martineck hilariously voices a multitude of extraterrestrial characters in this Odyssey Honor-winning sci-fi romp. … Martineck imbues Lan with a winning optimism that keeps the tone light and shines in their delivery of the aliens’ native tongues. Through screeches, moans, and chitters, as well as various distinct “voice signatures,” Martineck gives listeners a vivid sense of what it might feel like to be a stranger in an alien land.”

“Martineck utilizes a variety of vocal skills to depict a large cast of characters, including accents, tones, and cadences, so listeners are sure to never lose track of who is speaking. Their depiction of Wyatt in particular is stunning, fully embodying his snark and quick anger, but also the emotional turmoil of a teenager with a messy, traumatic background trying to heal.”
