Review:

PRAISE FOR RICHELLE MEAD AND GAMEBOARD OF THE GODS

"After years of YA, the author has finally returned to her adult roots with an ambitious (and sexy!) sci-fi outing."
- EntertainmentWeekly.com

“This brilliant book is a miracle. Think American Gods with the romantic heart of Vampire Academy. What's the point of world-building if you aren't building something and someone to love? I'm in love with every character in this book. How do I know? When I got to the last page I turned to the first and started again, thinking this is why I read.”
–Margaret Stohl, New York Times bestselling author of Icons

“Vivid world-building, whip-fast pacing, and a layered plot combine to make Gameboard of the Gods a riveting read!”
– Melissa Marr, New York Times bestselling author of The Arrivals

"The book is fast paced and suspenseful...A promising first book in a projected series."
– Booklist

“Provocative and dark—Gameboard of the Gods is epic in scale and impossible to put down.”
– Kami Garcia, #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor of the Beautiful Creatures novels & author of Unbreakable

"Why you should read it: ....It's dark, it's fantastical, and the chemistry is just wow!"
