"With this novel, [Hodgell] makes a promising debut, and its sequels could turn out to be major
contributions to the fields."тАФLocus,September, 1982

"It's become increasingly hard to do anything new in the high-fantasy field, but there's still a big difference
between those who can only reheat the same old stew and those who can take full advantage of all that's
been done before to brew up a fresh mix. Hodgell proves with this debut novel to be in the latter group.

"Jame is a fully fleshed character in a rich fantasy milieu influenced by the likes of C.L. Moore and
Elizabeth Lynn. Like their work, this novel and the series it begins should prove popular."тАФPublishers'
Weekly,September 21, 1982

"Those who regard fantasy as an insignificant branch of the literary tree lack understanding of the many
ways in which all people approach that mystic realm we call 'reality.' ReadingGod Stalk might allow them
to confront a few of their own demons. For the rest of us, whether because we are seeking ways of
looking at our lives through fiction or because we simply want to explore someone else's vision, Hodgell's
book is a dramatic introduction to a new world that both embodies and transcends our own."тАФThe

Dark of the Moon
"InGod Stalk, P.C. Hodgell set in motion a convoluted plot involving such standard elements of fantasy
as dark lords, thieves' guilds, and homey inns, and she transcended convention through sheer force of

convolutions, more familiar themes, andтАФagainтАФa redeeming, delightful originality of vision.

Already she brings a welcome freshness and flair to a field where creativity often seems more the
exception than the rule."тАФLocus,September, 1985

"P.C. Hodgell is one of the best young fantasy writers we have and yet her work is not all that well
known. This is partly due to her low productivity (two novels and a handful of short stories in the last ten
years) and partly due to the difficulty and darkness of her work. Where so much of contemporary fantasy
seems to consist of little more than a mindless reworking of Tolkien and Howard, Hodgell's affinities lie
with the complex plotting of Mervyn Peake, the dark humor of Fritz Leiber, and the gruesomely poetic
detail work of Clark Ashton Smith."тАФFantasy Magazine,October 1985

Seeker's Mask
"You come away from one of Pat's books with your mind and heart humming. The reverberations of
what you've read carry through into the world beyond the book's pages and you see things differently.
Connections that originated in the novels link with our own lives, offering insights and questions, both of
which are important as we make our way through the confusing morass of the world. The insights show
us established paths we can take that we might not have seen before. The questions make us look a little
harder so that we can forge our own routes."

"Like many of us, Pat has cast her net into the pool of what went before, but unlike most, she replenishes
those waters with more than what she took. You can't ask much more of an artist and for Pat's
