Reception

Dave Langford reviewed Gráinne for White Dwarf #90, and stated that "The final, haunting images effectively combined fairy mounds and World War III, but didn't overcome my frustration: Gráinne's barely-glimpsed story fails to conquer the dead weight of Bevan's autobiographical longueurs."^[1]
