It was followed by three entries, Will Gallows and the Thunder Dragon’s Roar (2012), Will Gallows and the Rock Demon’s Blood (2013), and Will Gallows and the Wolfer’s Deadly Magic (2015). Will Gallows and the Snake Bellied Troll was selected to be part of the Richard and Judy book club.[4][5]SynopsisWill Gallows, a young elfling sky cowboy, rides out on a perilous quest to bring the evil snake-bellied troll bandit, Noose Wormworx, to justice. Noose is wanted for the murder of Will's pa - the former deputy sheriff of Oretown. Will's journey takes him deep into the heart of the West-Rock, to the dark underground city of Deadrock, where he soon uncovers a deadly secret that could spell disaster not only for Oretown, but for the whole of the West-Rock. ReceptionCritical reception for Will Gallows and the Snake Bellied Troll has been positive,[6] and Richard and Judy have praised the book as "A well-written, fast-paced story that’s ‘wild west’ meets fantasy" and had "clever characters".[4] A reviewer for The Times also gave a favourable review for the work, which they deemed "Extremely funny and utterly bonkers”.[7] School Librarian also reviewed Will Gallows and the Snake Bellied Troll favourably, commenting that the book would appeal to "readers from about eight to twelve, particularly those who like their fiction quirky" and also praised the book for its "ingenious amalgam of western and fantasy with a whole lot of humour added in".[2] Awards
