Review Quotes

"Myth Match is the sort of book you can lose hours in. Read Myth Match if you're interested in monsters, mythology, or artwork. Read it if you have a sense of wonder. Read it if you love riotous imaginative pictures. Don't read it if you only have 5 minutes to spare!-GeekDad

"A little myth lover will, well, flip over this book/game hybrid that lets them read all about mythical beasts from all over the world, then combine elements of pages to create new ones."-The New York Times
