  "I would like to promote a new fantasy series,/…/an exciting tale that makes you hold your breath."
  Lena Engkjaer, Kristianstadsbladet

  "Åsa Ekström's illustrations/…/are a nice mixture of manga and Viking art with a touch of The Arabian Nights. The simplicity of the language, the large font and appealing layout makes this a good read-on-your-own book."
  Fia Larsson, BTJ 1 2009

  "Salmson places her hero in a time when dragons were natural and culture was a blend of medieval towns and Japanese fantasymanga. It is a blend that works well and Salmson uses the different genre and story telling techniques with dragons, chivalry, manga and fantasy in very efficient way."
  Kristin Hallberg, Svenska Dagbladet
