"The Sylvan Horn" is a fast-paced narrative of Efkin’s coming of age, his receipt of a magical pendant and a sentient sword, and his growing understanding of the special role he must play in the impending battle against evil... Redinger skillfully interweaves a gripping plot with a subtly enchanting poetic style... In fact, the depth of mythic sophistication elevates this novel beyond any simple categorization as a young-adult fantasy. - Peter M. Fitzpatrick / The US Review of Books.
