monicadee 's review for:
The Shadow of the Gods
by John Gwynne
adventurous
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Strong character development:
Yes
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
Although the pacing is excruciatingly slow for most of the book, Gwynne's writing is compelling and immersive. And although the three main characters are emotionally dull and distant, the story as a whole is fantastic. I wasn't swept off my feet with this one, but I have a healthy optimism for the rest of the trilogy!
