A lovely review in the Guardian!

"This witty, stylishly drawn enemies-to-friends graphic novel elegantly subverts the “chosen one” trope, asking pointed questions about what happens after the final battle."

We have a HUGE YA Graphic Novel treat with 5 copies of #TheVictors by @wren__james & #BethFuller to #Win!
From the Tiktok sensation The Quiet at the End of the World comes the story about what happens after the chosen one has saved the world. The prophecy foretold they would be enemies … it didn’t mention they’d be flatmates!
For the chance to join Dirk & Medusa in this enemies-to-friends story…
