Reception
editPublishers Weekly praised the "fine climax to the novel" as well as Wurts as "an accomplished builder of worlds, scenes and characters through well-chosen detail, with an ear for dialogue and an eye for realism – her shipboard scenes, the battling street mobs and the reluctantly taxed merchants are exemplary".[1] Library Journal also highlighted "The author's attention to detail and her skill for creating memorable heroes and villains" which "lend a sense of immediacy to a tale of epic battles and great betrayals".[2]
