"At the story's core is an interesting and convincing relationship. Nelson is adept at character development: Axel in particular, but also Moses, whose outward personality belies an inner nuance. And his prose is capable: 'She had entered his life the way lightning enters a tree—sudden, burning, reshaping everything it touched.'... At its best it's a revealing evolution of an improbable relationship." — BlueInk Review
