"Land of Hidden Fires is a compelling testament to the dangers, and necessity, of resistance. Kjeldsen writes about the quiet horrors of life in wartime with clear-eyed humanity and grace."

— Colin Winnette, author of Haints Stay

"Despite the high drama and action-driven hunt, the story remains at its core a quiet one, focused on the well-developed, internal struggles of the characters and with the careful, evocative use of language... A quiet and introspective novel of wartime adventure."

— Kirkus Reviews

“A fine wartime tale of survival and resistance, told with clean, compelling prose. The tough and resourceful Kari will linger in your memory, and the evocative setting will leave you shivering beneath the sheets.”

— Dan Fesperman, author of The Letter Writer"

"A masterfully told story, fraught with danger, set against an icy, white, virtually silent tableau... a story that will stay with you long after you've finished it."

—  The New Jersey Star-Ledger
