Top 5 are Lord of the Rings (trilogy, but I count it as one!), Green River Rising, Shogun, The Heroes and The Sunne In Splendour. I think everything I read can be inspiration of sorts, but I have to be careful that inspiration doesn't become plagiarism! But I'm always curious to see how other authors handle certain topics or situations. There's always something to learn. (less)

Good audio narration, funny in places. a very decent read. my Greek mythology isn't good enough to sense how many liberties the author took, but the result was fun and effective. ...more

Quotes by Anna Stephens  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Rivil dropped back to walk at Crys’s side. ‘Bit of a limp there,’ he whispered. Crys glanced at Janis, then back to Rivil. ‘It’s the size of my cock,’ he whispered, ‘drags me to the right. What’s a man to do?”
Anna Stephens, Godblind

“Crys stared at the space where the god had been, open-mouthed, dazed, shuddering with cold and shock and just barely holding on to the contents of his stomach and his arse.”
Anna Stephens, Darksoul

“He could always tie his hand to his sword if necessary, as long as he remembered not to scratch his arse with it afterwards.”
Anna Stephens, Darksoul
