"This book was a wonderful expansion into the Rick Riordan presents universe. The author was unique in featuring a character with strong religious beliefs and how they grappled with living gods. The pacing was similar to that which Riordan readers are accustomed to, and the characters were well developed. I highly recommend this read, especially if you love mythology and want new pantheons to explore, or if you’re looking for stories from Arabic or Muslim perspectives. A great read! "
"I received an eARC courtesy of Rick Riordan Presents/ Disney Publishing Worldwide via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.<br/><br/>Mesopotamian mythology? Gilgamesh? Yes, please!<br/><br/>To say I was excited to read this would be a massive understatement. And, thankfully, this book did not disappoint. If Chadda does not make this a series, I will be devastated. Everything from the story to the characters to the settings was fantastic. This was the kind of epic tale that I did not know that I was missing and I will book talk the dickens out of this book to get into the hands of kids.<br/><br/>For Libraries: Buy it! Read it! And love it!"
