Review: A Gamble of Gods (The Order of the Dragon #1) by Mitriel Faywood

February 8, 2023 by Cassidee Lanstra Leave a Comment

Faywood blends so many different elements into A Gamble of Gods and it is quite unique compared to so many other books I’ve read in the SFF genres. There’s fantasy, romance, science fiction, and comedy facets that all work to make this something fresh.
