Starts slow, but we have to be introduced to the multi-POV characters. At first I thought 4 POVs were too much but each character was unique enough with a ragtag team of different perspectives and motivations that it was important. It does pick up pace but doesn't hit too much action until the end. There are also parts of the book that got me super emotional that I wasn't expecting. I love all the characters, and loved the concept of the many gods and godkillers. It's got Witcher vibes but isn't a rip off. I'm very much looking forward to reading Sunbringer and being brought back to this world because the ending sets it up well and the last 25% is where the action really shines. I wouldn't say there was any romance since the one relationship that occurs felt a little forced. The world building was also good enough that it was built without being an epic reading undertaking. It's nice to have a short fantasy that feels epic.
