About The Gift ‘...a magical story that is reminiscent of Tolkien. This is a tale with passionate, inspiring characters, an enchanting protagonist and vividly described landscapes. The Gift is a powerful story and marks the beginning of a series of a great series of fantasy novels.’– *The Bookseller* About The Riddle ‘Maerad's tale continues, luminous, desperate and bold....Croggon's world is rich and passionate, brimming with archetypal motifs but freshly splendorous in its own right. Supremely satisfying." – *Kirkus* About The Crow Unbelievably fine, this book represents fantasy storytelling at its best. This exemplary novel is sure to appeal to all fantasy fans.’– *VOYA* About The Singing ‘This is a quest narrative, one of the most durable and enchanting kinds of story, as old as Odysseus and Arthur. Croggon tells it fluently and confidently.’– *Sydney Morning Herald* More reviews ‘An epic fantasy in the Tolkien tradition, with a strong girl hero... I couldn't put it down!’ – Tamora Pierce ‘Croggon has created a world that is both authentic and exotic, welcoming and frightening.’– *School Library Journal* Click here to submit a reader review which may be published on this website.
