Well, review is a bit of an over-statement but Books Monthly had this to say: 'De Pierres is one of the best SF lady writers around at the moment, and Fedor is a character to die for. I really loved this.'

I'm so pleased to read this because with Mira Fedor I wanted to create a very different character from Parrish - in fact, I felt it was essential to do that. Naturally some people didn't relate to Mira as my new heroine (in comparison to P), she was so repressed initially, and eccentric, and formal. Her emergence into a person of strength and courage is a triumph over hardship and social programming. I hoped my readers would come through the reading experience feeling they could do that too.
