Juraj Janosik®: against the Order of the Dragon

"Like a blow between the eyes. The almost sinful playfulness of the text. A beautiful, oiled tongue, but one that drains faster than quicksand when in action. Imagination breaking healthy and unhealthy boundaries. Humour of many weights and a subtle but persistent strumming on the strings of national stereotypes. A combination of Janosik myths, mysticism, grotesque and steampunk that will be burned into your memory. For me a literary event not only this year. "

"Svetozár Olovrant writes as a postponed fruit of the forbidden love of Petr Stančík and František Kotleta (. ) The indulgent debonairing is punctuated by absurd action (the language isn't as great as Stančík's, but that may be partly due to the translation), and it's about the genre itself rather than the deconstruction of the genre. And it works pretty well! One can only hope that the author (and Slovak historical figures) will not run out of steam. "

"The book was great, although it dragged at the beginning and I had to suffer through a few pages of boredom to get to the actual plot and resolution of the story. However, the overall impression is excellent. "
