Reception

Dave Langford reviewed The Isle of Glass for White Dwarf #80, and stated that "Tarr can actually write. Her spare prose and dialogue give a period flavour without the dread excesses of gadzookery. Moreover, she's clearly a member of the Black Lords Anonymous and the Society for the Abolition of Quest Clichés."
