cassnypette 's review for:
The Gods of Men
by Barbara Kloss
3.5/5⭐️
I read it in french and gosh I hate translations, it’s final. I read only 2 good translations this past year and this book isn’t one of them :)
So yeah I think reading it in french influenced my opinion on the book. But also, the info dumping in the first ish pages? Not a vibe.
Characters are alright, didn’t feel much for them. The plot was alright too, quite basic. Very simple at the beginning, got more complex with time but still not complex enough to my liking. It was easy to read though, so that’s nice.
World building in the basic basic fantasy world, no complaint. It did the job. I can’t always read books with super original world building haha.
I felt nothing as I went, apart from disgust (Hagan u abhorrent hideous pos). The ending, and its plot twist sadly did not surprise me because I had guessed it about 120 pages into the book. Not saying I’m a genius, but for once my theories were so on point I was disappointed not to be surprised.
Reminded me a lot of Game of Throne too! Some names, and the plot, and the vibes. And overall had a feel to it.
Would like to state that the MC’s name (or the one she chose anyway) is Sable??? In english it might sound alright, but as I read it in french, well… sable is the french word for sand. So just picture it.
Overall good book, not amazing, not a masterpiece but it did its job : to occupy my day. Onto the sequel now which I’m hoping might be better?
