Advance Praise
"The Blood of Four Gods is my first exposure to Jamie Lackey's fiction and I enjoyed every story in her collection. She writes with a consistent style which bridges the simplicity of folktales with the complexity of modern literature, and by grounding her stories in mythology, despite their fantasy elements, they feel more believable. Her stories are not long and there is also a common theme of coming of age, making this a great collection for teen readers as well." -- Tangent Online
"With no editing or grammatical errors to disrupt my reading flow, I thoroughly enjoyed each of these stories. With smooth pacing, well rounded characters, and with individual stories for each and every one, this is a wonderful collection of stories, sure to delight. Absolutely recommended by me." -- Archaeolibrarian

These short stories are incredible, and I devoured them all up and was disappointed when the book ended. If you love mythology and fairytales with a twist to them, then you should pick up this novel.
5/5 stars.
