Praise for the previous edition of The Chronicles of Pandora written as Finding Pandora by Readers' Favorite:

"The world of [The Chronicles of Pandora] is interesting on its own, comprising a mirroring history and an assortment of creatures that will make for consuming contemplation sessions.... This is testament to Rachael Hardcastle's ability to choose carefully what to show and what to suggest... It is with this skill that Rachael Hardcastle delivers a light-pierced sombre story with a compact, multifaceted plot."

"There is a spiritual, moral and instructive quality to this book, asking us to look at ourselves as a civilization, our values and our actions. That is where its strength lies and that is something very commendable."

"[The Chronicles of Pandora] beats at a pace that keeps the reader's attention and interest. The story flows remarkably. The imagination, planning and execution of Rachael Hardcastle's work is the strongest I have ever seen it... [The Chronicles of Pandora] is rich with societies, environments and cultures that are bustling with life, history and tradition... But perhaps the strongest feature of the book is found in its insightful themes and discussions on evil, morality, purpose and humanity."

"It is all action, anguish, emotion, twists, blood, and light. It is laced with feelings of triumph and defeat, anguish and happiness, closure and continuance. The lean economical style of Rachael Hardcastle accelerates the tense, quick pace... However, this isn't at the expense of depth... One thing is clear at the end, the [The Chronicles of Pandora] series is about sacrifice, the demands of living a purposeful life, and hope in the face of calamity. It is these poignant themes that make the series the moral force it is. As we close this chapter, we are reminded that this may not be the last time we see Arriette and the Recruit, and that should bring some excitement to fans because this story has more to offer."
