Reception

Maryanne Booth reviewed ''Shadowdance'' for ''Arcane'' magazine, rating it a 3 out of 10 overall. Booth comments that "The only thing that differentiates this novel from others of its genre is that homosexuality is very heavily hinted at and apparently quite acceptable. Innowen forms a rather close relationship with his male companion, which nobody questions as being extraordinary. The two gratuitous scenes describing some rather nasty sexual acts are the only things that makes this book an adult read."
