Overall I enjoyed this book and feel comfortable recommending it to people that I know are into this genre. The parts I really liked were the lore and mythology woven into the story. I always appreciate a vengeful god and love seeing colonizers / cultural appropriators get what’s coming to them. The parts I wasn’t really a fan of was the romance between two of the characters or anything really dealing with one of the mmcs. His storyline seemed forced, and I just felt nothing for him, despite the authors efforts to make him more sympathetic. The end to me was also a bit of a let down, though still exciting. It just felt like the conclusion to an episode of Scooby Doo with the villain reveal and subsequent monologue. Some parts of it were actually laughable, but I doubt that was the author’s intent. Like I said, fun, easy read that I will likely not think about again, but I wouldn’t think someone was insane for giving this 4-5 stars.
