Reception

Kirkus Reviews called the Stevens's writing style "spare" and "gritty." [1] 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." [1] However, they find Munroe to be "one of the genre’s most compelling characters." [1]

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." [2] They also indicated "readers are likely to find themselves cringing at some overgeneralizations," though "the fight scenes are refreshingly stark and well paced." [2]

Booklist and Library Journal also reviewed the novel. [3] [4]
