This is not a thread in which to post reviews. Rather, it is a collection of links to them.
The afforementioned Underkoffler's Overview (http://www.livejournal.com/users/chadu/301778.html#cutid1)
Polaris is mentioned very favorably in the Sons of Kyros (http://www.ithacagamers.com/sonsofkryos.html) after GenCon show (#4) and briefly their pre GenCon show (#2).
Polaris gets a mini pre-play review in Paul Tevis's Have Games Will Travel #7 (http://havegameswilltravel.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=18642). He calls it "his pick for GenCon" and promises a future review. Thanks, Paul!
My own review, done for interested people on the E#verway-L list:

Thanks, John! Wow.
Are you going to post it on RPGnet? What with the ratings and all?

I didn't feel it (my review) was RPG.Net worthy, especially since I haven't had the chance to actually play it. But a lot of Everway-L people are RPGNet regulars so I included it for a convenient reference.
And I'd have to rewrite it to remove the Everway references, I think.

John Wick calls Polaris his second favorite rpg (http://www.livejournal.com/users/wickedthought/418011.html).
Thanks, John!
As there are a few Scandinavians around I'll link to my own review (http://munkholt.squarespace.com/display/ShowPost?moduleId=196482&discussionId=5674&postId=52636) (Danish). I'll summize by saying "Very positive - will try it soon."
English version of review now available. (Scroll down.) (http://munkholt.squarespace.com/display/ShowPost?moduleId=196482&discussionId=5674&postId=52636)
Ken Hite reviews Polaris (http://gamingreport.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=164)
he likes it.
I'm sure Paul intends to review it soon but he has actually recorded his second section of Polaris for his game podcast Have Games Will Travel (http://havegameswilltravel.libsyn.com/).

In the Christmas Episode (http://havegameswilltravel.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=42877#) of Have Games Will Travel (http://havegameswilltravel.libsyn.com/), he names Polaris his #1 game of 2005.
I'm really, really happy about this.

It's short and sweet and to the point. My sister Adiel wrote a review of Polaris (http://tiawanamama.blogspot.com/2006/07/review.html) on her blog, based on the game that we played when my family visited over the July 4th weekend.
There's a favorable review (http://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/12/12354.phtml) up on RPG.Net.
Yup yup. Review (http://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/13/13254.phtml) up at rpg.net.
