IN THE NEWS
“It is always a little tricky to judge the merit of a novel when it is the beginning of a saga. The fact remains that Thierry Gagnon hooks the reader with a really unusual story . This little girl of the 21st century, addicted to her phone and texting, does not know anything about the gods of an Olympus she meets. Those we meet are furious with the men who have forgotten them. The language is far from the bombastic deities one can imagine, think of an update that is not without humor, sometimes sour, always biting . The contrast between these dramatic characters and the naivety of Kimiko, who questions if this isn't all a bad dream, is the strength of the novel, as is the new mythology created for gods far from the peplums of Hercules. I have also been reminded on a few occasions of the television series Xena and its fresh and often playful look at the ancient Greek gods. The potential is enormous , it remains to be seen where Gagnon will go. Nice start. Can't wait for the rest! " - Mario Giguère, The Geek Horde
“Kimiko in the Underworld is a really nice book ! It is a immersed in the heart of mythology with all that it contains of mystery and magic. The adventure passes at a breakneck speed - it was necessary to play on words - and the questions pile up on a final of turmoil: we need the continuation. A really solid construction and a gripping plot. " - Alain Touffait, Le Patelinant
"The content of this book is for me a real wonder, a beautiful discovery who will get me passionate from start to finish . The mythological aspect is very well used in a contemporary context, brought in particular by Kimiko, to the rebellious and insolent personality but also very funny , as well as to her relationship with Prometheus, who became her guardian in the underworld. " - The Baroque Feathers
