Review:

Praise for Troll Fell

In Troll Fell Katherine Langrish has unearthed a captivating world. Bleak and captivating. Her style is quirky and hypnotic and her characters are instantly recognizable as someone you know, or someone you wish you didn't.
Eoin Colfer

Atmospheric, dramatic, stylish and intensely engaging, Katherine Langrish’s Troll Fell is the real thing. I’ve rarely read a more confident and assured first novel that was so mature and had as many of the ingredients that are needed to herald the arrival of a significant writing talent. Troll Fell is in turns gritty and bleak, and also magical and uplifting. I think Langrish is a natural storyteller and I look forward to discovering more of her imagination in years to come.
John McLay

The plot and subplots race along and wrap up neatly and satisfactorily in a nice, twisty ending... Goodhearted, resourceful Peer's courage, loyalty to his friends, and generosity will win reader's hearts and will ensure the appeal to readers...
Kirkus Reviews journal

...this is an exciting adventure story... Peer and Hilde are easy to identify with. The troll kingdom is well and cleverly described. Readers will love to hate the uncles, who get exactly what they deserve in the end. This fast-paced novel maintains suspense and has a nice twist at the conclusion. All in all, this is great fun.

Synopsis:

Sequel to the highly-acclaimed TROLL FELL, this is just as exciting, dramatic and atmospheric. Set in Viking Scandinavia, follow Peer's adventures as he struggles to get the mill working again. But you never know what kind of sneaky creatures are lurking in the shadows, waiting to jump out at you at Troll Mill! Troll Mill follows Peer Ulfsson, his dog Loki, Hilde and their friends and family three years on from where we left them in Troll Fell. Returning from a day's fishing with his friend Bjorn and with a violent storm brewing, Peer is shocked when Bjorn's wife Kersten rushes past, thrusts her young baby into Peer's arms and throws herself into the sea. What kind of creature would do this...and will she ever return? On his way back up the hill, carrying Kersten's baby to safety through the storm, Peer notices the old mill wheel turning. But it's been derelict for years...The next day, fed up with Hilde's constant rejections, he decides to prove himself and goes down to investigate the old mill, determined to get it up and running again and become the miller himself. But who or what creatures will be lurking in the shadows of Troll Mill...And are his greedy scheming uncles really gone for good?
