"Cherryh is the best writer of this sort of adventure tale since the earliest days of C.L. Moore and the prime of Leigh Bracket. Morgaine and Vanye fans will be fascinated by this new skein of development in the relationship between the two, as well as by the setting of her tale, so much like Ivrel and yet so different. Any reader who is willing to become lost in an alternate reality will find much to enjoy and will take pleasure in Cherryh's explicit promise of further stories." -Washington Post
