"(Kroll) has found his storytelling voice in this series and his craft is fully refined. The books have a unique style and the descriptions are almost cinematic in nature. It is as if Manoa is mentally watching a movie and capturing the action on paper – a screenplay turned prose. This voice lends an extremely vivid visual feel to the story and places the reader in the center of the action."

The One
Six-Book series

"A wonderfully imagined YA series that is every bit as engrossing as 'The Hunger Games' or 'Divergent' series. But it has an edge of sophistication over other series in its sci-fi conception and elements of conflict, and it explores more complex issues of power than the average series. This is highly recommended reading for adult and young adult readers alike."

"From the start, this YA series is promising - it's written very visually (i.e. you can see the "movie" playing in your mind), the characters are rounded, and the ending keeps you hooked to find out more."

"What makes everything in this at-times breathtaking novel work is the author's superb control over the language and pacing of the book. This kind of control is exceptional in a first novel and it points toward a very promising future for Kroll. He is certainly one to watch as his experiences and stories grow into his already formidable skills."

"This is a wonderful, gem of a book. Well written, honest, raw, real. well worth the money. A must read..."
