joreadsalot 's review for:
To Cage a God
by Elizabeth May
‘She clung to the image of freedom: blue skies and the sound of waves crashing against sun-kissed sand, the feeling of weightlessness as she soared above it all. She wanted to fly.’
.
It is hard not to fall in love with all the characters in this book - I was a little worried at first about having so many POVs, thinking it might get confusing or tiring, but the world building and character development is so greatly portrayed that it didn’t bother me at all. In fact it got me more and more excited to see what everyone was planning or feeling and how things will turn out.
.
Sera and Galina went through excruciating experiments at the hands of their mother and now the zmeyas inside them to be quiet. When (yet) another very unhinged woman takes the power, they decide is time to join the rebellion once again, but this time they’re doing it their way, with one big goal in mind - giving people their freedom back and the power to make their own choices.
.
I really loved the story, especially for the folkloric elements it borrows from the Slavic culture - reading about zmei reminded me of the childhood stories that I enjoyed so much, but thankfully in this case they’re working alongside humans for the greater good. (Poor Vitaly for being the only one on the ‘villain’ side, but he’s a lovely villain and I agree with his lack of morals).
.
The book is perfect for NA fantasy fans! Thank you @blackcrow_pr and @daphne.press for the copy!
