The Children of Gods and Fighting Men by Shauna Lawless

adventurous dark emotional mysterious medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

A really fun book which mixes history and fantasy beautifully, I think Lawless does a really good job blending the two genres into a very coherent story. My only slight nit-pick would be that the cast of characters is huge for a ~400 page book,  sometimes making it hard to keep track of everyone, but overall it was a very solid read. Can't wait to get book 2 soon!
