I love The New World... I look forward, hopefully, to more. -- John Sutherland * The Times *
It’s written with such gusto and passion that it’s impossible not to enjoy it. * Irish Independent *
Motion paints an alluring portrait of a land that is in turns bountiful and beautiful, barren and savage. -- Lucy Scholes * Independent *
Motion’s narrative is both more lyrical and more gruesome than Robert Louis Stevenson’s. * Mail on Sunday *
Motion has fashioned an exciting narrative that fans of the original will welcome. * Good Book Guide *
