“Reading this was fun. It truly grabbed at my heart and made me smile. I was for sure not ready for all the emotions this book put me through. It was great though. It's beautifully written and has my heart pumping like crazy. I adore how strong Tenn perceives herself, though I can still see flickers of innocence in the way she tries to be strong. She's more human than what we see nowadays in other books. She's built to be realistic. I loved the gods in this book. They seem to have an air of sass to them that truly makes them seem much more human. … I adored how the plot progressed and the story made me feel. It was worth the read and I hope to read it again soon.”

— Christina Jackson, Goodreads reviewer from Shawneetown, Illinois

“THIS book. Brave. Risqué. Fantasy. REAL. And with our current global social milieu, I couldn’t rate this book more relevant.”

— Jeanine Henning, fantasy author and cover artist from Cape Town, South Africa

"So glad that there are fantasy books like this coming out that remind me of the old '80s pulp fantasy by CJ Cherryh and Stephen Donaldson -- great characters."

— Jen The Tolkien Gal, Goodreads reviewer from Pretoria, South Africa

“What I love most about this book is the way it started, no unnecessary build-ups, it started with a bang. … The plot is amazing.”

— Deborah Obida, Goodreads reviewer from Abuja, Nigeria

“I’m in favour of actively meddling gods. x-D … I was impressed with the rather active pantheon, and the open and indiscriminate play of “love stories" in the story. Especially the "side-characters" were rather interesting.”

— Auntie Terror, Goodreads reviewer from Frankfurt, Germany

"I was firstly drawn to this beautiful book cover and secondly to the story itself, which kept me hooked until I'd finished. Loved the story."

— A.D., NetGalley reviewer from the United Kingdom

"The gods had a very old-world vibe. They came in at random points, did what they wanted, when they wanted and left. They made for an interesting side plot. I also thought that there was a very easy-going camaraderie between the main characters. Kind of a huzzah! we're heading for an adventure! sort of schtick which made for a fun interlude between the plot."

— Miranda Reads, Goodreads reviewer from USA

“The thing that worked the most for me was the mythology of it. Mammyth and its gods were real, living, breathing things and they were as natural to the story as they could be.”

— Svetlana Svichkar, Goodreads reviewer from the Ukraine

“You are thrown right into the story from the first page. I like that. … It is enjoyable and worth the time reading it.”

— Laila Viking, Goodreads reviewer from Denmark

“This book is all about empowering women. … I enjoyed the mythology of this book, how the gods and goddesses live amongst them.”

— Julie Oakley, Goodreads reviewer from Hobart, Tasmania, Australia
