“The plot is involved, the villains are vicious, and the hint of reality gives this opening novel of the series the feel of a legend.” - KLIATT
“Readers who enjoyed DRAGON RIDER and ERAGON will appreciate the dragon lore.” - Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)
“A stiff dose of Arthur Conan Doyle, ladles of Anglo-Saxon lore (via Tolkien), and a smidgen of Dahl. Will entice fantasy fans.” - ALA Booklist
