This was so cute! I really enjoyed the way the author spoke, their voice if you will, and I liked the narrator (even though I too own this book, and I liked the characters and the manerisms and the memories and the coming to terms with death, the topic of grief, overcoming fear and learning confidence. Wow this book really had a lot of great concepts in it and I liked the different cultures myths. It was a fun read 😍

Rick's introduction to this book gave me all the feels. I am so glad this series and the whole Rick Riordan Presents imprint exists. This book is phenomenal.
Rep: Black male MC, side WLW couple, All Black, African-American and African disapora cast.
CWs: Death, fire, grief, injury/injury detail, violence. Moderate: Car Accident (Bus accident), child death, racism, depictions of slavery.

This was an amazing debut and I need to reread it. I loved the mythology of this and how the stories Tristan was told as a kid came to life. This felt the same as reading Percy Jackson but with a different set of gods. I absolutely loved it. I can't wait for book 2.
Gum Baby was the best side kick/partner in crime I have ever met. Every scene with Gum Baby made me howl with laughter. This was a grand adventure and I recommend it for everyone.
