Reception

Greg Costikyan reviewed The Ruins of Isis in Ares Magazine #1.{{cite journal | last=Costikyan | first=Greg | authorlink=Greg Costikyan | title=Books | journal=Ares Magazine | publisher=Simulations Publications, Inc. | date=March 1980 | issue=1 | page=35}} Costikyan commented that "Ruins of Isis is by no means Bradley's best work; and her characters seem less well-realized than those of previous novels. On balance, however, the book is worth its [...] cover price."
