"Ectopia is a terrific novel with excellent characterisation, world-building, narration and dialogue. A story of great depth, raising questions about who we are and how we define ourselves. Steven is a brilliant narrator with a thrilling tale to tell."
— Barbara Melville, Interzone
"Ectopia is a thought provoking read that isn't afraid to take risks, which gives it a leg up in the crowded dystopian marketplace. It's not going to usurp The Hunger Games as teenagers' dystopia du jour ... but give it a few years and some of them will want to cut their teeth on something meatier."
— Litreactor
"The plot is infused with elements of myth, of gender, of catastrophe, and with the construction of narrative itself... It stands within a tradition that seeks to examine the nature of the present by constructing a fantastical but palpable other world that reflects some of the aspects of our own lives back on us."
— Christopher Burns - The Warwick Review
