[edit] Criticism

Inda has been much more polarizing among the readership than past works of Sherwood Smith. Members of Amazon.com who participate in writing reviews of her books have been especially dichotomic.[3]

[edit] Trivia

  • Smith intended to release the trilogy as a pair, in order to save prospective readers time and money, but found it unworkable to do so. This is why the book ends somewhat abruptly.[2]
