"Mae digon o gyffro a gwreiddioldeb yn perthyn i'r nofel hon, gyda'r Ail Ryfel Byd yn ganolog i'w stori afaelgar... Edrychwn ymlaen at y nesaf." - Aled Islwyn, Barn

"Awdur newydd sbon yw Siôn Hughes, ac er nad yw'r stori'n un gymhleth mae'n llawn tyndra. Llwyddir i godi nifer o gwestiynau diddorol ac fe gedwir ein diddordeb hyd at y diwedd. Llwyddir hefyd i greu portread credadwy o gymdeithas Gymreig yng nghefn gwlad Cymru yn nyddiau tywyll yr Ail Ryfel Byd. Croeso, felly, i awdur newydd ac i nofel gyntaf hynod addawol. Pluen arall yn het Y Lolfa! " - Dafydd Morgan Lewis, Gwales.com
