Summary

Reception

Reception was mixed, with Kirkus Reviews saying, "A premise that had a chance to be compelling is diffused by a momentum-killing willingness to digress. Hunter has done much better." [2] and The Oregonian calling it "a disappointment", [3] while Publishers Weekly gushed that a "solid characterization complements the tight, fast-moving plot." [4]
