adamdavidcollings's review against another edition
4.0
I enjoyed the dive into Māori mythology and culture. It provided for exciting stakes and set pieces. I felt an immediate connection with the two protagonists. I enjoyed the way the story weaved the real-world evil of child trafficking with the supernatural threat of ancient gods destroying the world. There was some real tragedy in this book, which I'm always up for, but I would have appreciated a little more psychological realism in the way characters reacted to not only the extraordinary supernatural events around them, but also the deeply painful tragedies.
