San Francisco Chronicle
Sheer readability.
Adelaide Advertiser
Shows Feist in top form.
Booklist
The complexity of characterization here may surprise some, though not those who have followed Feist’s work over the years . . . A must, of course, for rapt readers of Talon of the Silver Hawk and King of Foxes.
Science Fiction Chronicle
This is a series that gets better as it goes along.
Chicago Tribune
CLASSIC.
The Guardian
The prose is smooth, the plot is exactly what you’d expect and the characters do exactly what Feist tells them . . . File under guilty pleasure.
SF Site
There’s an evil sparkle here, brighter and hotter than any of Feist’s works since the Magician trilogy. The Dasati and their world are sumptuously realised . . . It’s an entertaining, at times intoxicating mixture.
Sydney Morning Herald
Fine entertainment . . . Feist works his signature magic . . . an absorbing and carefully crafted adventure with pleasing density of plotting, good characterization . . . this is populist Dickens out of Tolkien, and it works.
Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel
A massive, entertaining tale.

[A] compelling and profoundly moving tale… an invaluable addition to a beloved canon.

Feist has the universe firmly under his control, and the adventure is grand[.]
