"These books have both proven satisfying in the compelling shading over of old-fashioned wild west cliches in bright fantasy colours- and this one is better at it than the first." * The Bookbag *
"A welcome return for Will Gallows . . . Action packed, this is an inventive story with a host of larger-than-life characters." * JULIA ECCLESHARE, LOVEREADING4KIDS *
"Madcap adventure . . . if Eoin Colfer can make fairies cool for boys, then the elf braves of The Thunder Dragon’s Roar should face no credibility problems." * CORK EVENING ECHO *
"A wonderfully imagined story . . . fast-paced and very descriptive, helping the reader to stay engaged throughout." * The School Librarian *
"Plenty of drama and action . . . Readers looking for something that brings a new dimension to the traditional fantasy quest are likely to enjoy this, and get caught up in the adventure." * INIS *
"Keilty’s characters really leap off the page . . . A funny, rip-roaring read." * Children's Books Ireland, Recommended Reads *
