Reception

Andy Butcher reviewed Time and Light for Arcane magazine, rating it a 4 out of 10 overall, and stated that "It's not that Time and Light is a bad book - it's quite well written, if a bit over-stylised, and the plot is well structured - it just isn't good enough to get away with so many clichés and stereotypes of the genre."
