Reception

Pat Ferrara of mania.com comments: "First of all I gotta say this guy can write and this book was a great introduction to a new series. Don immediately sets up characters that are unique and memorable, so much so that I actually cringed when a favorite persona got killed off (which I haven’t done in a long while). Although you do have your archetypal good and evil forms, the author avoids a common pitfall of fantasy literature by painting characters with a spectrum of moral hues. Not only does this add realism to a lush world but also makes the motivations far more believable and above all leads ample room for character growth. This is evident in Singe and Geth’s haunting back story as well as the addition of a new major player: Ashi. A former foe of the Bonetree clan, Ashi transforms from a stereotypical opponent to a dynamic individual throughout the novel. A great opener."[1]

gollark: Ignoring bees like memory and also it being too long, `print("BEES"*2305843009213693951)` is best.
gollark: Wait, that's 2^64, this is fine.
gollark: Python strings practically give us a limit of size_t.
gollark: So just put exactly size_t into there.
gollark: Because APPARENTLY size_t limits.
