An author who can rightly be dubbed a master storyteller . . . Heroes Of The Valley is . . . epic, vibrant and colourful
Phil Hewitt, Bognore Regis Observer
As always, Stroud writes like a dream, passing from instant amusement to a sense of real suspense with apparent ease. Those who eagerly awaited this next novel after his super Bartimaeus trilogy will not be disappointed
Books for Keeps
Written out of a deeply felt world and with a taut, disciplined voice that knows its Sir Gawain and the Green Knight as well as its Harry Potter, Jonathan Stroud's new book is, quite simply, stunning
Guardian
While it is a totally new direction and a different type of tale to what pulls you right in, proving that the cream will always rise to the top

This is an entertaining book full of boyhood adventures, heroes and excitement
Bradford Telegraph and Argus
Stroud peppers his story with tales reminiscent of ancient Norse myths, giving this book the feel of an epic saga. Halli is a great lead character . . .
Flipside
A high adventure with any twists and turns
Derby Evening Telegraph
An entertaining book full of boyhood adventures, heroes and excitement
Caroline Davison, East Anglian Daily Times
Jonathan is already building up a strong fan base among young lovers of fantasy fiction and his latest novel will certainly not disappoint his young readers
Hertfordshire Life
This is a real treat that will have children of 10 and over seeking out Stroud's other novels
Toby Clements, Daily Telegraph
This latest novel will certainly not disappoint his young readers
Hertfordshire Life
It is certainly an action adventure but the great fight scenes are tempered by humour and humanity and for that reason, although an excellent read for boys, it will be read by adventurous girls too
Carousel
The language is equisite in places and landscape is brilliantly evoked throughout the story
