Minotaur’s Lair (Servant of the Gods Book 3) by Luciana Cavallaro – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

Minotaur’s Lair by Luciana Cavallaro
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Minotaur’s Lair is the third book in the Servant of the Gods series. It’s worth reading the series in order – you get enough of the backstory in this book to follow it but it would be more enjoyable to read as the culmination of the series.

As the title suggests, Minotaur’s Lair draws on Greek mythology to create a vivid fantasy world. There are plenty of familiar characters and tropes, but modern elements bring originality as well. The historical setting is detailed, with plenty of information about ancient lives including things like medicine, making it both an immersive and interesting read.

There are some great characters in this story! I particularly like Dexion, a boy whose insight and friendship help Evan in his quest. He’s a fun character with great energy, and I like a story where children notice things that adults miss.

This book gets five stars from me! I’d recommend it to fans of Greek Mythology and historical fantasy. Do start at the beginning, though, with Search for the Golden Serpent to get the full story.
