I'm really glad we picked this one for the @wealwaysreadbookclub February book!

Ash and Madoc are two warriors in a land very reminiscent of the Roman empire - think Gladiator, but with a bit of mythology rolled in.

Speaking of which, I loved the unique mythology - it wasn't one we are already familiar with, but rather a completely new mythology of 6 gods and goddesses, each representing an element (fire, water, air, earth, etc.). There was enough back story about the main gods in the story that I felt knowledgeable, but as a fan of mythology, I still want more!

I can't wait to read more in this world and meet more of the gods and goddesses.
