Readers review:

Actually, it’s rare that I read such a good book.

– FELIX, 11 year

I’d like to read the book again.

– Martin, 12 years

I’d actually stand in front of my whole class and recommend the book.

– Sol Borghild, 9½

Would recommend this book to others who like really exciting books (...) Very well written! (...) The book was a little too short. I want this to be a series with several books!

– Lars, 11 years

I got carried away and really wanted to read on. I also got a little sad when the book was finished.

– Erle, 11 years

I was gripped with suspense from page 1!

– Runa, 10½ years

The book is perfect for anyone who likes trolls, werewolves, mysterious beings and a little romance.

– Miriam, 10 years
