“Deftly and repeatedly crosses back and forth between dimensions to create a unique tone that links familiarity with compelling foreignness.” Toronto Star
“De Lint deftly blends native American and Celtic folklore, classic good-versus-evil conflicts, and contemporary elements with tender human moments. Characters battle private demons as well as mystical foes in these involving tales sure to have wide appeal.” Booklist
“In this sequel to Moonheart, de Lint revisits Tamson House, the sprawling Ottawa edifice that is a reservoir of psychic power and a gateway to many spirit worlds, particularly those of Native American and Celtic mythology…De Lint infuses his powerful story of sacrifice, revenge and the responsibility of power with an ancient sense of human unity with the natural world.” Publishers Weekly
“Rich and believable…[de Lint] again displays his talent for fluid cross-world fantasy.” Library Journal
