Connelly, Riverfront Times Mardou does a wonderful job of capturing the aimlessness of this in-between age, as well as its unexpected joys. - Publishers Weekly Mardou's narration is wonderful. She paces the story quite well making every page feel intimate and personal. - Dustin Cabeal, Comic Bastards By the end of this volume, Sky in Stereo shifts into something unmoored and unpredictable, imperceptibly tracing the path by which Iris's inquisitive and skeptical nature slips into simply becoming adrift - Sean Rogers, The Globe and Mail
