Review:

Blistering humour, mortal danger & immortal heart, epically clever. Loved it. (Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of Girl of Ink & Stars)

Evans' debut novel is a breathless roller-coaster ride ... Reminiscent of Rick Riordan with a hint of Neil Gaiman's Stardust ... fans of Percy Jackson will devour this and hope that the gods send a sequel. (Kirkus)

[A] relentlessly witty, fast-paced middle grade adventure ... This book is a page-turner littered with belly laughs that any adult will zip through. (M.G. Leonard, author of Beetle Boy)

This book is packed full of classical gods brought bang up to date with wonderfully ironic humour. (The Guardian) - - ---
