"I had an amazing time at the 2019 Esbjerg Fantasy Festival. The people in Esbjerg were so warm and welcoming, and the newly renovated library where it is held is simply gorgeous. It was a great chance to meet not only readers from Denmark, but also librarians who curate fantasy collections all over the country. Librarians are some of my favorite people, and it was lovely to get to know so many.Just as importantly, I came with my family, and was so pleased to see a festival so welcoming to both younger and adult readers, in an all ages environment. My daughter had as much fun as I did, if not more. The convention took us on a trip to the Viking town of Ribe that was delightful for the entire family.
We look forward to attending again, one day."
