"""At the start of the book, it seems like the story might be a little similar to Harry Potter, albeit from a teacher's point of view, but it quickly turns into a fantastic combination of magic and mythology. Arthur captures the essence of a late teen exceptionally well, presenting Ariessy as a young woman who regularly straddles the line between a child's emotional maturity and an adult's responsibilities. Ariessy is an emotive and engaging character who is headstrong and intelligent. I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of the story and had a hard time putting it down. The blend of existing mythology and the magic system created by Arthur makes for a riveting story. Ariessy of Midgard is an emotional fantasy adventure story that expertly hits all the right notes for young adult fantasy fans looking for an easy story with a unique blend of Norse mythology to get lost in ."" - Literary Titan.
