Reviews
Overall the duology impressed reviewers, showing a progression in Barclay's work since The Legends of the Raven.[2] There were however some fans who felt that this most recent effort was not of the same quality as the Raven series.[3]
Reviewing the second novel for SFFWorld, James Thorne wrote, "In any case, there is no doubt that this book and this series is an absolute triumph… perhaps even a master class."[4]
