Critical response
Midwest Book Review called Rice's novel A Throne for Sisters "a combination of feisty protagonists and challenging circumstances to thoroughly involve not just young adults, but adult fantasy fans who seek epic stories fueled by powerful friendships and adversaries."[18] Midwest Book Review also praised her novel Transmission as a "sci-fi story that will reach adults as much as young adult audiences."[19] However, Publishers Weekly described A Quest of Heroes as "action-packed" but that the book's "predictable plot is packed full of fantasy clichés, the pacing is rushed, and character development is hasty"[20] while Kirkus Reviews described the novel as "A fun but anemic, derivative fantasy."[21]
