“The Witch Who Came in from the Cold is a chilly evocation of a different kind of Cold War.”
– Charles Stross, author of the Laundry Files series
“Take a double shot of Le Carré, a dash of Deighton, a twist of Quiller, a splash of Al Stewart’s “The Year of the Cat,” throw in a jigger full of elemental magic, mix well … and voilà! The Witch Who Came In From The Cold.”
– Victor Milan, author of The Dinosaur Lords
“The occult love child of John le Carre and The Sandbaggers.”
– Marie Brennan, author of The Memoirs of Lady Trent
Location: Prague. Time: 1970. Two things this city was lousy with: spies and witches.
"As soon as I saw that, I was instantly hooked, and the pilot jacked the intrigue to the max. Two female Soviet spy witches, an American spy with something weird drilling magical holes in his head, and a world of secrets within secrets in a locale where old-world myth and the Cold War face off, pedal to the metal . . . it’s awesome. Or as we said in 1970, Far out.”
– Sherwood Smith, author of Crown Duel

I dunno man. I'll definitely stick with this to the bitter end, but it's so far proved incapable of either keeping my attention or engaging my emotions the way Bookburners did. With that series, no matter how long I took between reading the episodes, I was always immediately engaged upon my return, and totally caught up in the story's madness. With The Witch Who Came in From the Cold, on the other hand, it always takes me forever to remember what the hell is going on, and I find that I still don't really care about any of the characters. Looking forward to the moment the magical (SEE WHAT I DID THERE) connection finally happens ....

We're about to find out what happened in Cairo! This installation was a bit jarring to pick up. Gabe learns some stuff in between episodes and it's not really clear at first what he's learned. Transition could have been better.
