Book Summary and Reviews of Divine Mortals by Amanda Helander

Media Reviews

"Fans of Rebecca Yarros and Sarah J. Maas need look no further for their next big read." —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"A melting pot of everything BookTok loves, this feels destined to be a hot title this fall. A first purchase." —School Library Journal

"A promising debut with many moving parts, Helander's first of a planned series offers entry into an exciting magical world, with more interesting tales to come." —Booklist

"Divine Mortals has all the wit and banter of the best romances, set in an eerie, atmospheric fantasy realm where murderers could strike at any moment and the fate of the world is at stake. Funny, delightful, dark, and magical all the way through." —Robin Wasley, author of Dead Things Are Closer Than They Appear

"With whimsical charm, sweeping romance, and a pantheon of snarky and fickle gods, Divine Mortals has all the magic of a fantasy classic-in-the-making. Mona is one of the most lovable, messily human protagonists I've ever read—you will fall madly in love with her and with this book." —Ava Reid, #1 New York Times best-selling author of A Study in Drowning

"An absolute delight! Mona is a heroine after my own heart, navigating court intrigue, divine machinations, and an opposites-attract romance with crass humor and an iron will. With wit, whimsy, and fantastic worldbuilding, Divine Mortals will pull you in—and you might never want to resurface." —Allison Saft, New York Times bestselling author of A Far Wilder Magic
