Críticas: The concept behind Wyrmeweald is awesome (Nayu’s Reading Corner http://nayusreadingcorner.blogspot.com/2010/04/wyrmeweald-returners-wrath-by-paul.html 2010-04-29)

Returner's Wealth marks the beginning of what appears to be another excellent series from two very talented men... The themes explored are the dangers of enjoying killing, the empty feeling left after revenge has been exacted, the rapaciousness and wanton destruction and waste of humankind and love that is not always returned. The characters stories interweave beautifully and at no time is there a lull in the narrative. Wyrmeweald: Returner's Wealth is fantastic - absorbing, stirring and intelligently written - everything you could possibly want from a fantasy book. Fantasy Book Review could not recommend it more highly.

...a thrilling tale of deadly revenge and a compelling romance guaranteed to set any young heart on fire... Wyrmeweald is set to be a gripping and exciting new series packed with brilliant illustrations, daredevil danger and heart-stopping action. Scintillating sci-fi for both teens and adults.

...very much enjoyed...exactly what you might expect from the cover... (Richard http://forbiddenplanet.co.uk/blog/2010/wyrmeweald-new-from-stewart-riddell/)

When authors have been successful its always hard for them to not only make a comeback but also to journey into a new world so that the readers have something a little different. What occurs within this offering is a more grown up novel from their previous work and with more adult themes explored within.

It's a world of hardship, a world were great danger brings great rewards and populated by the most ruthless individual bloodthirsty band of brothers ever to walk a great many children's titles. Its dark, its full of fantastical creatures but it's the journey of a naïve young wanderer who experiences hardships, suffering and loss on his excursion. It is beautifully written but the adult themes within make this a novel that I'd recommend a parent read prior to letting their youngster loose within this world.
