Review in Locus by Maria Hankins: "In “A Good Brother” by Anne Wilkins, John must bring his sister Mary to the local castle because she, like so many others in their community, has entered “the turnin’ phase” and is slowly and irrevocably turning into a strange, blackened tree. John takes Mary to the castle but once he sees what awaits her there, he falters. It’s a harrowing story where love is blighted by terrible magic, where mercy is not easy to find, and where John might need the axe he brought with him."
