A review by rachshead77
Prince of Death by W.M. Fawkes, Sam Burns
4.0
4.5* Brilliant Fantasy.
I have always enjoyed stories about Greek Gods and this is a really good one as it concentrates on the Underworld being an integral part of the world and not lesser or where the villains are, there is quite a bit of artistic interpretation as Hades and Persephone in legend don’t have a son one of our MC’s Lysandros who has the gift to give or take life but is haunted by that power. The mortal that the Gods draw into their games and manipulations is Professor Theodore (Theo) Ward who seems at first as unassuming but over the course of the book discovers and accepts his worth as he can absorb magic - won’t say more about the storyline in fear of saying too much as I could gush about this book.
I really loved the way that the characters were built to show all different sides to their personalities, how special they are -Theo and Lysandros loved these two, how kind and levelheaded they can be -Hades, how conniving and petty they are -Hermes and Hera to say a few as I said I could go on.
This is the start of what I believe will be a truly epic series, I wait in anticipation for the next instalment.
