The common canard that gods are invented to explain something has always bothered me. People don't need gods because they need an explanation, but because they need a relationship. In order to have a relationship with the forest, with the river, with the fire, then those things have to also be people, and that's why they need to be gods.
This is a story about those relationships, and what kind of people those gods would turn out to be, when the forest, or the river, or the fire were gods.

Content Warnings
Moderate: Sexual content
I enjoyed the book wholeheartedly, and as a gay man myself it actually gave me some nice introspection on myself and my relationship with my boyfriend.
Gay relationships often have one person who is more assertive and brash, and one person who is more shy and submissive, this book, from a certain point of view, kind of serves as a sort of allegory for that. For me, it seemed to explore the dynamic rather well, including showing how two extremely different people can fall in love.
There is a gay sex scene that's rather elaborate (and allergy-inducing), but frankly in a world where Game of Thrones is one of the most popular things ever, that's a silly thing to complain about, so if you're straight don't let that alienate you.
Regardless, I can't wait to read the sequels.

What a deliciously pleasant surprise this was. Ryan Campbell can write some compelling character arcs. Can't wait to read the rest of the trilogy.
