Review

"With an intense conflict in a classic dystopian setting and a cool mix of science fiction elements such as time travel and dimensions, The Kota is an enjoyable experience." - Fantascize.com

"Honestly, this couldn't hit my nerd buttons any harder if it had come wrapped in Batman's cape. Kota is stuffed with new ideas and well-developed characters. I'm always going to take time to read about people with superpowers, but Kota had me caring about them as characters beyond those traits. I'm firmly on board for the rest of the series." -Spunkybean.com

"With too much Science Fiction paying superficial homage to originality, it's rare to find a writer who manifests diversity in thought and execution, whilst avoiding the pitfalls of overt imitation. Bringing a unique and compelling voice to the genre, Sunshine Somerville sets herself apart with The Kota." -- Bookviral.com

"This novel is extremely imaginative and in fact, this si-fi novel achieves what many science fiction novels do not: plausibility. It felt as if I were there watching the events unfold before my eyes. [...] Lovers of science fiction will find plenty in this novel to wet their appetite. I love a good series and 'The Kota' is off to a good start. I am looking forward to the follow-up!" - A Drunken Druid's View
