Praise for Shadows of the Dark Crystal:

â€œWith deft nods to the original Dark Crystal movie and a passionate attention to detail, the author has fashioned an impressive prequel. Fans (who will instantly recognize certain elements) and newcomers alike will find themselves immersed in a new narrative, with new protagonists and dangers to face. Readers who crave otherworld fantasy such as Jaleigh Johnsonâ€™s The Mark of the Dragonfly and Paul Durhamâ€™s The Luck Uglies will enjoy discovering this new series.â€

Â
â€œWhile young readers probably wonâ€™t have seen the film, the books might lead them to it; even if they donâ€™t have that point of reference, Hensonâ€™s world is richly imagined here, and it will be well worth the projected four books to explore the landscape, characters, and storylines.â€
â€”The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
Â
â€œCharacters and situations are compelling, and this first of a planned four-volume series aptly sets the stage and the conflict and tugs strongly on the heartstrings, setting readers up for more great adventuresâ€
