Reception edit
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]
