Critical reception

The Erstwhile received generally positive critical reception, garnering coverage from a wide variety of publications.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9]

By contrast, the review at Kirkus calls the book "slow and murky" and criticizes its relentless focus on imagery over plot, characterization, or theme.[10]
