Three young heroes find themselves in a world descending into chaos in this high fantasy novella. - Kirkus Reviews
In this series opener, Hammer's prose evokes the romantic diction and mythological complexity of the high fantasy genre, sometimes to an eye-rolling extent:- Kirkus Reviews.
Ie's unclear how many more installments Hammer has planned —one suspects i's quite a few —but so far the pacing is brisk and the world, if not completely unique, is quite fun. - Kirkus Reviews
This story may not prove to be a crosover hit like some of the books that inspired it, but readers who love the fantasy genre will find much here to enjoy.

A derivative but skillfully executed and engaging fantasy. - Kirkus Reviews
