Reception

Jonathan Palmer reviewed The Invisible Country for Arcane magazine, rating it an 8 out of 10 overall, and stated that "This is the author's first outing since Fairyland, which I preferred, but it is still a good book, made all the more commendable for its timely comment on the global fragmentation of our society. If you're hoping to bring real politics into your campaigns, as inevitably you must, there are some interesting angles for consideration here."[1]
