Title: Wrath of Olympus
Series: Ships of Britannia
Author: E.M. Kkoulla
Publishing Date: 09.12.2020
The Roman Empire never fell. The Gods are real. Ships are alive.
In the Province of Britannia, ruled by descendants of King Arthur and on the brink of an industrial revolution, young Maia Abella is on the run.
Something unseen has murdered her cruel mistress and she’s being blamed. The streets and factories of Portus are no place for a friendless girl, trapped in events beyond her control.
The city authorities and the Royal Navy are both desperate to find her – one investigating a killer, the other to recruit her, while the deadly legacy of a tragic past stalks her every step.
Aided by Raven, an ancient, blind Mage with a terrible secret and Milo, Crown Agent and spy, Maia must discover and overcome the fatal consequences of her birth.
Meanwhile, the Gods are making their moves. Not all of them are friendly.
Wow! It’s been a long time since i read such a complex fantasy in a short book. I didn’t know what to expect when i chose to read Wrath of Olympus. I am a fan of mythology, and i think fantasy works perfectly with history, i mean, i could be so good at history in school if the teacher would present the events like in a fantasy book!
Anyway, the story is so captivating. The action takes place in the Roman Empire, and what makes it so interesting is that the Gods are real. And they are unmerciful! The characters are so well-written, they are so different from each other and it’s so easy to love them. And what makes the story so special is the writing style. The world-building is created with such beautiful words.
I can’t wait to start the next book. E.M. Kkoulla is going to be on my favourite authors and i can’t wait to see what she will write next. Thank you WriteReadsTours and E.M. Kkoulla for my copy of the book!
I’m of mixed British/Greek-Cypriot heritage and live with my husband and two feline overlords, Zeus and Hades, in County Durham, UK. After many years of teaching very small children, I decided to put my degree in Classical Studies and long involvement with 17thC re-enactment to good use by combining them in my fantasy adventure series. I love history, reading, gardening and anything with gods and monsters trashing the landscape. You can find me on fb on my Ships of Britannia page and on Twitter @EKkoulla.
