Reception

Greg Costikyan reviewed Electric Forest in Ares Magazine #1. Costikyan commented that "Electric Forest is more than an excellent novel - it is, in my opinion, one of the best works science fiction has so far produced, something I will reread for the rest of my life [...] The story is gripping, the writing is excellent, the plot twists are dazzling, but even more, Electric Forest turns the reader inside-out, emotionally."
