Critics Review
‘A thought-provoking feminist fantasy set within a richly developed, immersive world, Blood of Gods and Girls sends a chilling message about the fragility of freedom and an all too poignant reminder of the cruelty of mankind. Brave, brilliant and beautifully written, Nisha and the Mortal Goddess stayed with me long after I turned the last page.’ – A. J Clack, author of Lie or Die
