Customer Reviews

I can’t say enough about how much this book pulled at my heart strings.

So the synopsis of this book and my experience of reading this book were polar opposites. To me it was a beautifully written story of sacrifice, love and family. But I guess it was suppose to be about 2 Gods and their epic story. Well I totally missed that part but it was Epic. I cried multiple times and ending the book broke my heart. It left me with a longing that I can only describe as grief. I buy multiple copies and give it to everyone I know that loves to read as much as me. They may not get the same thing out of it that I did but I am sure they will feel the love and beauty that Sam Meekings builds in that harsh world. It’s a must read for anyone who loves history and turmoil. And I guess mythology too
