“A rip-snorting tale and an overall fun read … I'm greatly looking forward to the eventual conclusion of this series, and expect that the trilogy will become at least a minor classic, if not a more respected work over time.” —Amazon Vine Voice Review
“My kids and I LOVED this book! It brings history to life and we sat on the edge of our seats while we read this book.” —LibraryThing Early Reviewer
“The Legend of the Great Horse trilogy is unlike any other horse series written for young adults. Just like book one, the author has gone to great lengths to add historical accuracies to this fantasy tale. Young readers will find the time traveling horse to be interesting, but there is so much more to young Meagan's quest. ” —Billy Burgess
“Don't listen to anyone who tries to label this trilogy as a work of juvenile fiction. It is much more than that.” —Amazon “Hall of Fame” Reviewer
