Praise for this book
"Divine Mortals is witty, sexy, and heart wrenching, with a beautifully rendered world and characters." - A Y Chao
"Mona's unique voice - by turns bratty, guilt-stricken, horny, doubting, determined, but always that of a survivor - make her a dazzling and oh-so-relatable protagonist for this wildly inventive debut. Helander has divined a story that's twisty, addictive, and sharp as a slap. I absolutely inhaled it!" - Shelley Parker-Chan
"Effortlessly combining fantasy and romance, Divine Mortals is a dazzling debut. Mona is a protagonist for the ages, combining incredible power and hilarious wit with crushing doubt and realistic trauma.

"With whimsical charm, sweeping romance, and a pantheon of snarky and fickle gods, Divine Mortals has all the magic of a fantasy classic-in-the-making. Mona is one of the most lovable, messily human protagonists I've ever read - you will fall madly in love with her and with this book." - Ava Reid
"An absolute delight! Mona is a heroine after my own heart, navigating court intrigue, divine machinations, and an opposites-attract romance with crass humor and an iron will. With wit, whimsy, and fantastic worldbuilding, Divine Mortals will pull you in - and you might never want to resurface." - Allison Saft
"Divine Mortals has all the wit and banter of the best romances, set in an eerie, atmospheric fantasy realm where murderers could strike at any moment and the fate of the world is at stake. Funny, delightful, dark, and magical all the way through." - Robin Wasley
