Colin Greenland reviewed The Castle in the Dark for Imagine magazine, and stated that "Tanith lee starts with the most traditional of material, pure Brothers Grimm; but she goes over and over it, peeling away layer after layer of assumptions and illusions, inverting our expectations of good and evil time and time again. There's nothing simple about a fairytale by the time she's told it."[2]
