Media Reviews
SILVERWING is top-notch fantasy adventure writing. Go for it. Daily Telegraph cracking stories, brimming with adventure, redolent of great mythical sagas of the past, alive with invention, thoughtful - at times profound and probing - and never faltering when it comes to thrills and page-turning power. Carousel Fast faced, cliff-hanging action ... Recommend this one. School Library Journal Totally compelling ... an excellent adventure story. The Scotsman Oppel's achievement is to have created much more than an action adventure involving bats. This first powerful novel successfully creates a new fantasy world. Literary Review A Jonathan Livingstone Seagull of the bat community ... this epic journey is gripping, and details of bat life are inventively and convincingly imagined. Publisher's Weekly FIREWING: 'The third book in a riveting saga about bats ... capable of enthralling both 9-11s, as well as an older audience.' Achuka website
