Of this novel, Kirkus Indie Reviews writes, “Aegis has constructed a compelling novel that’s also quite timely, with themes that touch on the development of potentially corrupting dependence on technology, the very human need to make sense of traumatic events, and the complications that can arise from taking on new perspectives that are different from one’s own. Overall, the book manages to be serious and engaging while maintaining a consistently brisk pace. A grim but effective speculative thriller.”
