My first YA fantasy (not counting Harry Potter), it was a ride and I liked it!
Can’t wait for book 2!
(I listened to the German Audio Book Version, which was really well done)

The audiobook really made this book great. Such a good cast + good writing. The story itself was fine, nothing too amazing but the voice actors made it feel so real and vivid, excited to see what comes next

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.
