Greg Costikyan reviewed Shadows of Sanctuary in Ares Magazine #12 and commented that "In Shadows, Sanctuary becomes even more fully described; it is rapidly turning into one of the most depraved and violent cities in fantasy fiction. If you enjoy a dash of blood-encrusted evil with your heroic fantasy, Shadows will prove fun." [1]
