Reception
John Wilwol of the Washington Post called it "wildly entertaining".[1] Tara Campbell wrote that "Diehard devotees of Moore are sure to enjoy Secondhand Souls' madcap plot and zany characters" in the Washington Independent Review of Books.[2]
Sarah Rachel Egelman of Bookreporter wrote "For all the weirdness in these pages, there are some really thoughtful and interesting ideas as well. Moore plays around with world mythology, especially Celtic, Egyptian and Buddhist tales, and successfully merges them into one narrative."[3]
