Critics Review

Joanne Harris is one of those authors that you can count on to deliver incredibly detailed and rewarding worlds.

Especially enjoyable are Harris’ aphorisms, her satire of joyless piety and the comically irreverant vernacular spoken by a dissolute goblin and the trickster god Loki - SUNDAY TIMES

The author is one of my favourites … The author’s wonderful imagination is showcased to great effect - Sun

Harris creates a glorious and complex world replete with rune-based magical spells, bickering gods, exciting adventures and difficult moral issues - Publishers Weekly

Goblins, glams, ancient gods and subterranean adventure - Sunday Telegraph
