"Imaginative story of political intrigue and mystical wonder set in a well-rendered fictional world."

"Much to the young author’s credit, the characterization of the Oridians and the Ricidians is not beholden to a Manichean system that cleanly pits evil forces against good. Instead, the characters are simply rendered but multifaceted, capable of both altruism and vice."
