The Wings Upon Her Back by Samantha Mills
4.0
Thank you NetGalley for the eArc in exchange for an honest review.
This book was such a treat. I'll admit, in the beginning I found myself wondering why I should care about the main character, but that soon dissipated and quickly enough I was devouring this story. The world building was interesting, the gods fascinating, and the technology both incredible and almost painful.
A story about religion, abuse, and oppression, you never really get the big answers you seek, but Mills writes with just enough certainties that you're left feeling satisfied.
My biggest complaint is that I could have used some sort of appendix to remind myself of all of the places, titles, and roles within the book, but I was able to forge on even in uncertainty and found myself really appreciating this unique novel.
