The Write Thing calls Gemma Files' A BOOK OF TONGUES,
"Darn’ tootin’ evil, blasphemin’, Bible-quotin’, hex-slingin’ gay bandits wreak destruction across pantheons, life, death."



"Files is sparing with her language. Every sentence is elegantly shaped, pared down to the bones with surgical precision. She paints pictures deftly, not belabouring us with descriptive passages, but weaving textures into her action. The book is a genuine pleasure to read, her words aren’t lyrical so much as laden with cadence, shoving themselves through your eyes into your skull and sitting there leadenly."
