“Carmack pulls off a terrific sleight-of-hand in the opening chapters…She also transforms her heroine from a seemingly powerless and sheltered pawn into a powerful force in her own right.” RT Book Reviews (4 stars)
“There’s plenty of detailed descriptions of broad, manly chests, beautiful clothing, and injured maidens swooning…although Carmack does take pains to make Roar strong, intelligent, and brave.” Booklist
“Carmack introduces an exciting new world that contains intriguing magic and complex social structures.” Kirkus Reviews
