"A feast of a book." Seanan McGuire, Hugo Awardwinning author
"As if Baz Luhrmann directed an episode of The Chef's Kitchen: The Sol Majestic is completely one of kind!" Sarah Gailey
"Much like the kitchen in which it's set, Steinmetz's culinary space opera is filled with variety. At its heart, it's a complex, chaotic, and mystifying coming-of-age story of a young man becoming a lover, an aesthete, and an activist. . . . Steinmetz . . . elevates his story with lush details and vividly rendered characters, crafting a memorable love letter to the nourishment of body and soul as well as the dignity of work and service." Publishers Weekly, starred review
