-Hailed as “a powerful look at the protagonist taking control of her life and her body” by Rich Horton over at Locus Magazine: https://locusmag.com/2018/10/rich-horton-reviews-shades-within-us-edited-by-susan-forest-lucas-k-law/
-Praised over at Speculating Canada as “an intensely powerful and intensely *painful* tale that examines ideas of safety, security, and home…” and “a story that cuts to the quick, but it also reveals a great deal about the sort of lasting pain that comes from abuse and trauma.”
