“I see something of a mixed bag, the design looks very nice but it’s made from too many large parts so it feels slightly juniorised, the trap is clever but the mechanism to hold it in place is not very sturdy.”

Lego Maniacs' Guide
“Excellent castle addition, a couple of parts that were new to me, and a skeleton. This set has marvelous pieces and potential. The basic castle which adjoins the drawbridge and entrance ramp is basically just an entrance turret, but if you have a larger castle set, this... More addition just screams to be added on as a new front door (or dangerous rear-way exit).”
