To Cage A God combines high fantasy with all of your dark romantasy desires. Told in multiple perspectives, it combines deities and political fantasy as our characters gear up to begin their rebellion against their oppressors. The characters are written well and flip tropes on their heads from the beginning (the quiet protagonist doesn't cower away and the louder character is more than their snarky one-liners and has layers to their character). It is clear that May took great care when creating these characters and the world.
I've seen criticism of the title being misleading. However, without giving too much away, the 'caging gods' aspect is a fresh take on the deity trope. I hope you give this novel the chance it deserves.
