Reception

Dave Langford reviewed The Soul Master for White Dwarf #55, and stated that "I admired the ingenuity, but less so the writing: portentousness, reminders of the author's presence ('How shall I put it?' he wonders in print, breaking the narrative spell) and overuse of Significant Understatement."{{cite magazine | last =Langford | first =Dave | author-link =David Langford | title =Critical Mass | magazine =White Dwarf | issue =55 | pages =20 | publisher =Games Workshop | date = July 1984 }}
