Reviewers for Mabon in it's original release called it "the strongest in the series, a definite must-read, simply wonderful, my favorite of the series..."
from Boudica at The Wiccan and Pagan Times: "The Mabon book is the final installment in the Llewellyn Sabat series. They chose Kristin Madden to do this book, and a fine job she did. Another book that is well researched and is packed full of Autumn trivia, recipies, customs and lore..."
from M.L. Benton of Echoed Voices Magazine: "Mabon the book of honor, giving, celebrations and blessings! Llewellyn has a winner in their Sabbat Series with Mabon. ... No matter your tradition or path, Mabon is an exciting and enticing read, one you will enjoy many many times through the turning of the wheel! "
