An energetic, engaging and poignant success. The scope of Green's world and the cast are enormous, but every scene is infused with such touching humanity and delightful wit that it's impossible not to be drawn along each step of the journey and become a part of every relationship.

ONCE IN A BLUE MOON is full of action, intrigue, wild magic, hordes of demons, artifacts of terrifying power, and heroes who are both sometimes brutally bloodthirsty and relatable at the same time. This story is classic fantasy turned to 11, and manages to exemplify Simon Green's writing style, which manages somehow to be both lighthearted and grim, dark, and brutal.
