Loved the fantasy world and learning more about it and its history throughout the book. Loved the plot. Loved the deaf rep - this was integrated really well throughout and echoed really well with irl Deaf culture! However it did feel a little longer than it needed to be, and although the story relies on the toxic friendship, it did get a bit tedious and I was expecting a more emotionally triumphant moment in the ending of it.

This book is so good. Hark's character development was amazing. Quest was also such a good character. And the way the god's memory was still affecting people was just *chefs kiss*.

read 4 || jan. 2024 even though it took me literally 2 weeks to read this (i was so excited to bring deeplight to ireland and reread it here and i started it on the plane and then just. didn't read at all) i still loved it of course. i think this time around i was left with a new love for dr vyne she's simply so real. she finds out the leaguers are making a god and she's like oh of COURSE i'd love to help and she never even considers they'd want to bring it to life bc it's all about the fascinating science to her.
read 3 || dec. 2022 my favorite book ever is there anything more to say !!! i adore the world i adore the writing i adore the characters i adore the weird creepy frecht of the gods
read 2 || feb. 2022 i love this book quite a bit & i already have another review (on a different edition) detailing how it basically is everything i could want in a book so i will not repeat all that. i adore the world and i love the characters. i also didn't mention this in my last review but i really love the concept of frecht, like something to describe the eldritch beauty of a creature that is much too strange and unknowable to truly be seen as beautiful but undeniably is so anyway. i like that a lot. not sure if i have any more coherent thoughts but maybe read 3 will do that?
