I have had the great pleasure of meeting the author at MCM Expo, (comic con). My husband bought me this book as he thought it might be something I would enjoy after we had been chatting to her about it. I finished it over that weekend and constantly found myself laughing and reading quotes out of it to my husband.

This is one ofThe Good: Eggs, Butter, Sugar and Disaster reads like a Young Adult mashup of PG Wodeouse, Terry Pratchett, and JK Rowling. Wright has constructed a brilliantly humorous world of selectively-modernized mythology in which there are no longer enough warriors to fill up Valhalla, gods advertize, dwarves are contractors, and deities carry credit cards. Its all terribly silly, but the really fantastic part is that it all makes perfect sense. Wrights cast of characters starts off strong and only gets

I'm not sure that I'm the intended target audience but i still found myself chuckling away and enjoying the fun of it all. I think that 'fun' is the best description of this book. It's a bit silly (intentionally), it's witty but most of all its a charming story that is good fun and a refreshing break from more
