PositiveThe New York Times Book ReviewBarnhill wants us to see ourselves in this mob, herding like sheep behind the mayor’s slogans...But her implication is less that people are pulled to darkness and more that they are dazzled by the wrong kind of light ... In bright and dexterous prose, Barnhill assures us that the curse is broken, the warmth of Stone-in-the-Glen restored. And yet there’s a lingering unease. Dragon Man may be gone, but fires like his have a curious way of restarting.
