RaveThe Observer (UK)This is a phenomenal debut ... The painful scenes of Every One Still Here do not, as one character has it, recur by coincidence – they are the direct consequence of a political situation. This is heart-stopping writing, and I hope for more to come from the mysterious Ní Chuinn.
PositiveThe Guardian (UK)A caustic study ... The title of the book is testament to its wry tone, and ultimately its position ... Occasionally, Greenwood’s creative writing feels less successful than the news writing within it: the protagonist’s filed copy is sometimes clearer than the prose itself. But Vulture remains a remarkably skilful debut. Greenwood’s style is compelling and blackly comic; the story could not be more serious.
RaveThe Telegraph (UK)Hood writes rising peril particularly well ... Hood’s writing is exceptional for its own sake; she’s a remarkable critic, illuminating what you know is there, turning your head towards it.
