To know what happens next and to enjoy this amazing journey do grab your copy.

This is the first book by Kevin that I've read as I haven't read mythology fiction till now.
The cover of the book is also a point of attraction towards this book but, I picked this book to get a new experience and I'm happy that I got a chance to enjoy this book.
At some point plot is predictable but overall this book gave me good experience as my first mythological fiction.
The author has done great research before writing this book which is remarkable. The development of the characters is impressive.
This book left many questions unanswered hoping to find the answers to those question in Book 2 (eagerly waiting for Book 2)

Thank you, HarperCollins India for the review copy.
