"As with Octavia Butler’s work, McLaughlin had me cringing at critical moments and sighing with relief during narrow escapes," Jerry Torres.

"Readers will be invited to peek inside the heart and mind of a woman whose spirituality and intergalactic awareness are as rich and vivid as the works of JRR Tolkien," Jennie Xue,

"In a time when diversity is under scrutiny and attack, I am delighted to read a story that makes its central character shine, taking science fiction and fantasy to a new level," Peter Greenfield.
