Polyphemus 
By Zachary Ashford

First of all, I want to give a huge thank you to the author for providing me with an ARC of this book to read and review!

Holy Guacamole, what a ride. This was metal through and through. The story, the music, the characters, all of it. This read like a classical tragedy but in a modern setting with metal band members. This was deep.

It was evident throughout the book that this was a passion project, and the author poured himself into it. I've only ever dipped my toes into metal music, but I could appreciate all the references and nods to bands in the book. 

This gets a full 5 ⭐️ rating from me. I would highly recommend this.
