“It has a cool layout, a very nice cover, and pictures inside. It is a fairly short book with short chapters, which makes it easy to read. It is recommended for the ages of 9-12, but I would probably say it can be a little scary for the youngest. As an adult, I had the retention of reading it myself. Nor will it ever be long-winded or tough during the story. The excitement is on top most all the time!" @lassusenilinsen

“... an exciting book with Ask and Embla. I like Embla's determination and leadership. It gets almost uncomfortably exciting, and the end gets really riveting. The book is for 9-12, but it is also suitable for me." @carinas_lasdagbok
