Isle of the Gods is such an adventure. I loved the world building, which had a steampunk feel - autos and horses as transport, electricity. Most of the books was spent on the water, and the author’s love for sailing and being on the water really came through the page. There is a unique religious system, where the gods used to walk among the humans 500 years ago but no longer do and still have a high presence throughout the world. The magic system is also unique with the four elemental spirits. I loved our MCs, even our morally-gray one.
5 distinct POVS
- diverse cast, including lgbtq+
Constant adventure that is typical of an Amie Kaufman book
ARC was provided by publisher and Netgalley. All opinions are my own.

I tend to lean more towards sci-fi than fantasy, so when I come across a book that has a fusion of the two, I'm in heaven.
The Isle of the Gods is set in a world filled with magic, engineering marvels, social divisions, and religious zeal.
As each character sets out on their own journey, fate intervenes, and they'll soon find themselves facing a destiny beyond their imagination.
Through betrayal and sacrifice, they'll need to come together for the greater cause or risk war.
I devoured the book in a day. There might have been little sleep involved, but it was well worth it, and I can't wait for the next book!
