Review: Magic mix of myth and humour
Rating: 5 out of 5

I'm going to have to quote from this one...I loved the humour in the first book and the second one delivers just as much. Racing chariots, the importance of respecting one's mother...that will keep "every Theon, Deke and Homer" (or their modern day equivalents) amused throughout a pretty exciting adventure.Eno the practical hero is back, with another female supporting character who is hardly a damsel in distress - but I won't tell you what her peril is, for I don't do spoilers. Naunet is no fainting flower and she definitely makes this story more interesting.With fast-flowing action that's not slowed down by arduously long description, I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes fantasy, mythology and a bit of history thrown in.
