Recenzii

I loved it, it's such an imaginative re-telling of the Minotaur story, gripping and utterly believable.
Hard to imagine a more brilliant reinterpretation of Greek myth than The Double Axe.
This remix is both learned and exciting.
Instantly absorbing adventure.
A dark and action packed story based on a familiar myth but with its own unique twist.
A thrilling adventure.
SO good: so fierce and pacy and sharp. If you love myth you will love, love this.
Very exciting... marvellous and refreshing.
Violence in the labyrinthine darkness, and the pleasures of food, family loyalty and discovering your own powers as a young man, all reforge Greek myth for the new generation in vivid prose saturated with Homer
Womack's fifth novel, unsettling, original and absorbing, shows him at the height of his powers
A clever rummage through the myth that manages to turn it on its head and recast it in a new light
Womack's retelling is packed full of action, mystery, and intrigue, as it weaves Stephan's story into the backdrop of the legend we know today.
A gripping adventure
