Editorial Reviews
Timothy Lane, Fosfax, November 1988
"...a world full of allusions to our own history...magical struggles with treachery as an important element...the main struggle could be called love vs. hate. These books are interesting works of fantasy...a fine series which shows a good historical background with an awareness of the importance of logistics. Whatever one thinks of Amazons as a concept, they are certainly well-done here. Even the villains are complex, well-fleshed out characters.
Ardath Mayhar, Thrust, Summer 1988
"...fantasy that is woven intricately upon a weft of solid classical knowledge, yet is also colored by a creative imagination of great scope and power. The novel has the power and delicate precision of the best poetry. Tantalizing glimpses of our own antique world, interestingly altered and yet recognizable, give the story an extra dimension that feels like true history. Anyone who believes that fantasy must contain magic and elves has never read the work of Mary Renault...in Lillian Carl we have found another who can offer her readers an alternate reality that will live inside the mind long after the book has been finished."
