Reception
Kirkus Reviews called the Stevens's writing style "spare" and "gritty." Considering the novel's character, they wrote, "In the hands of any other writer, Stevens’ Munroe might sound a little too Ethan Hunt to wax believable, but she's not. She's a fierce, even vicious fighter, driven by demons that prevent her from claiming happiness." However, they find Munroe to be "one of the genre’s most compelling characters."
Publishers Weekly called the novel "flawed," noting that, unlike previous novels in the series, "Munroe lacks a clear motivation" for her actions, though, as always, she "makes for an intriguing action hero." They also indicated "readers are likely to find themselves cringing at some overgeneralizations," though "the fight scenes are refreshingly stark and well paced."
Booklist and Library Journal also reviewed the novel.
