I was lucky enough to receive an Advance Review Copy of this book from the publisher, and I feel very fortunate indeed! This way I can tell everyone how good it was and that's what I'm here to do! Let's start with the cover, because how can we not? That image...it grabs you and doesn't let go, and it sets the scene perfectly for what's coming inside the book. I also love any plot that is based on mythology, so that was a very strong indicator that this book would be a winner for me! The characters were very well developed and inclusive--there's so much complexity there, which is awesome--but my favorite character was the dog, because of course it was. There's a Frankenstein element going on, and overall it's just a whole new take on fantasy, which is really welcome given how popular the genre has become. Anything that breathes fresh life into this category of book is going to be a must-read for me!
