Reviews
«Torseter is in a category of his own – this is an impressive piece of craftsmanship from a distinctive artist. The entire page is activated, including the empty spaces, in an exemplary use of the book format. The reader is fully drawn into detailed pages. We see a rich dramaturgical repertoire, through full spreads and sequential panels, and a sparing use of text. The book requires us to become co-authors of the story – a trust Torseter has in the reader.»
Jury's comment, Tegnerforbundet Utvalgte 2024

«Torseter's illustrations have a quality I can't explain, something imaginative that appeals to me now and appealed to me when I was little. The few words give a lot of room for the reader's own interpretations and the reader's own imagination.»
EMPIRIX

«... a new and exciting addition to Torseter's extensive catalogue.»
DAGENS NÆRINGSLIV

«He is one of the most extinguished illustrators we have, with the ability to stack different techniques and elements on top of each other, in a way that would have collapsed by most other artists.»
BARNEBOKKRITIKK.NO

«... Torseter's neat line is as alive and expressive as previously, and it enables him to tell a story mainly through graphics like few other Norwegian series creators can.»
