I find the idea of gods arguing amongst themselves and needing the help of a mortal boy to settle their dispute, to be unreal. Like aren't gods supposed to have powers and stuff? Anyway, thanks for your review.

As a fan of Greek and Roman Mythology, I'd certainly pick this book! Orlando is just one of the side characters from stories I read, so this is my chance to know more about him. Time travel helps readers learn the past in a more engaging way. Congratulations on the BOTD.

I think the most commendable thing about this book is the author's unconventional narrative approach which is expertly executed. I applaud him for this. Not every author delivers different narrative styles while staying on course.
