REVIEWS

”At the heart of this fantasy story is personal maturity and development, although the specific chosen one’s fight against evil is also a key theme. Filix is ​​constantly evolving in the new world, not only in a positive way. The protagonist’s inner struggle is the book’s greatest treasure. Depiction of people and the environment works excellently. Dahlin writes captivating and easy to read, without sacrificing depth and seriousness.”
