Anmeldelser
«With an epic journey, dramatic setting and a host of terrifying monsters, there's a thrill on every page.»
Booktrust, Richard and Judy Book Club
«I can't remember a book that so successfully merges two completely different genres so convincingly, and engagingly . . . I can easily recommend it.»
John Lloyd, TheBookbag.co.uk
«A romping cowboy story with a difference, this is entertaining, action pack adventure set in a richly imagined fantasy world.»
Julia Eccleshare, Lovereading
«Like Eoin Colfer, Derek Landy and Garret Carr, it is full of Irish wit, dystopian vision and musicality, merging three genres (SF, hard-boiled detective story and the Wild West) within a children's novel. Extremely funny and utterly bonkers.»
