from The Faerie Drink Review:
"There was everything from suspense to romance in this short little story. Linnet and her romantic interest were surprisingly fleshed out and the tid-bits of information about what life was like in that period were much appreciated. The only issues I had with this short story were... well, that it was so short. A whole novel could have fit into this great retelling of Rapunzel.
...I loved this story and hope to find more of the author's work in ink soon."

from Teen eBooks:
"...a fresh and lively sci-fi Rapunzel with a very major twist that readers will encounter in the very first segment.
...Howson crafts more than a knight and princess romance by launching Linnet (yes, different name) literally sky high, living in an upper-class tower that looks down on the peasant underworld, which is conveniently obliterated in a blanket of smog. Ultimately, issues of social hierarchy and ignorance trump all-out heroism, and even romance takes a back seat to this horrific world as experienced through Linnet's sheltered apartment and roaming imagination.
Howson describes the environments with a confidence and frugality of words that works perfectly in this novella format, successfully conveying a placid oppression and a sense of alienation for her readers, without ever being unsuitably loud, nor lush, with her narration.
...intriguing, involving, and unassumingly unique. We feel Linnet's hatred for the silence and blindness of her world, and our expectations for a deliberately and consistently bleak narrative are ruptured by an explosive grand finale that leaves us gripping our ebook readers."

from Dear Author:
"The socially conscious motifs of the story were well done as was the world building. I liked that the fantasy aspects served to drive both the internal and external conflicts rather than exist as merely a background set piece.
...your voice is one that I really enjoyed and I thought the story was quite imaginative. I would look forward to a full length story from you."

from Coffee Time Romance:
"Falling is a wonderful young adult romance with a girl who is so heart wrenching because she thinks she has faults and is not worthy of love. ... Imogen Howson has definitely captured my interest with this short futuristic tale that left me hungry for more."

from The Long and the Short of It:
"I adored this story. It was a modern retelling of the fable Rapunzel; where a young girl must escape the preconceptions of her life to find true happiness. This story was a fantastic read. I look forward to more stories from Imogen Howson with relish."
