Now here is an author who could have given the Greeks a lesson or two about tragedies. Robin Jarvis lives up to expectations by killing off a few main characters, so if you're thinking 'oh, a book about mice, I'll read it to my 7 year old' then forget it. This may be about mice but they happen to be in the middle of a war against an evil god, so don't expect a perfect ending where all the characters dance around a May pole, because this is Robin Jarvis and it's not gonna happen. This is a great book with a stunning finale, simmering tension and a cracking pace. You need to read the other two in the trilogy first, but get round to reading this because you won't be disappointed.
