"While The Infinity Courts (2021) focused more on what it means to be human, aware, and capable of empathy, this sequel is packed with action, as Nami embraces her powers and fights back whenever she can...[a] fast-paced bridge leading toward higher stakes and more complications on the horizon." – Kirkus Reviews

​

"After a compelling series debut, The Genesis War continues Nami’s fight against Ophelia and the Four Courts. Just as original and gripping as The Infinity Courts, readers will devour this book in a desperate attempt to find out more about Nami’s power and her fight to help her friends escape the AI controlled afterlife." — The Young Folks

Akemi weaves in human emotion and action-driven plots perfectly, building memorable characters that will stay with you long after you’ve turned the final page. Her jump from contemporary to genre fiction was flawless." — Spotlight Report

This book is so original and fast-paced, it deserves to live beyond the book in cinematic glory." — The Young Folks
