“Gambit has a slow start, as the characters manoeuvre their way into the story. It gets much more intriguing the further in you get, giving ‘Stranger Things’ and the upside-down feel to it. Overall it’s a good start to this series, with the potential to be a classic.” – Bruce Martin, author of Dream Walker and Realm Walker.
‘Reading about the subjects against the everchanging backdrop of society as we progressed through the centuries made for an all around encompassing experience.’
