Nettavisen:
With Swan Song, Nikolaj Frobenius asks many of the important questions. He does not give us answers, but he makes us reflect. That is one of the reasons why “Swan Song” is highly recommended.
(5 out of 6)
Nikolaj Frobenius wants more than just serving up a smooth and proven recipe. When Frobenius is the conductor, some expectations can be allowed. Which is very much fulfilled in this intricate portrait of a rich family….. It has become a highly entertaining and exciting tale of glittering family facades that crack open and show off a bottom line that is not entirely solid.
Dagsavisen
Nikolaj Frobenius’s novel Swan Song follows its protagonist well into both doubt and paranoia. A successful project from a writer who has written about both fright and horror before.
