"Sonnia is an engaging character with grit and determination. . . Engaging, true-to-life horse content will satisfy many." "Sonnia adores working with the horses . . . but she’s horrified to discover that the other stablehands compete for large sums in a dangerous and illegal nighttime race” . . . Coats’s fast-paced tale [absorbs] with meticulously observed horsey details and a tender interspecies relationship."
"Horse-lovers will sympathize with Sonnia’s ambition, her fierce protectiveness toward the horses, and her strong moral compass. Technical aspects of horse care are minutely and gratifyingly rendered. And not to spoil the ending, but when the drama comes to a rousing finish, fans of wish-fulfillment narratives will be smiling."
