"... a brilliant book." -Parents & Kids Magazine, July 2011 "... 372 pages of pure awesomeness ... Some of the best fantasy I've read in a while. ... even though it is a fantasy book, I'm sure a lot of teens can relate to. It gives a great message saying that anyone can do the right thing and that anyone can be the hero." -Reading Teen, May 2011 "...flowing perfectly and always holding the reader's attention. With so many amazing and creative characters, The Sword of Darrow aspires toward the ranks of The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter." -Gathering Leaves, June 2011 "... beautiful and amazing ... Alex and his father Hal weave a tale of a love for humanity in the darkest hours with characters that feel genuine.
