The Warding of Witch World

Jonathan Palmer reviewed The Warding of Witch World for Arcane magazine, rating it a 6 out of 10 overall, and stated that "it's all extremely understated and follows accepted, though fundamentally wrong, premises. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me one iota if it had never crossed Andre Norton's mind that what she was saying could actually be construed as racist. It certainly never crossed mine until I came to read her again 25 years later. Maybe, it's never crossed yours, either. It's just a shame, though, that Andre Norton, like almost everybody else you'll ever meet in this life, has forgotten that Jesus was a black man."^[1]
