First off, big kudos for the content warning - it's always appreciated.
Right out of the gate, the writing had me hooked. It flows well, is engaging, and is very easy to read.
Now, onto the fun bits. This book is a whirlwind, with moments of cheesy delight and sauciness that keep things interesting. The plot and world-building hold up pretty well (although I would have liked more world-building), and the character development is a plus.
However, there's a hiccup with the ‘not like other girls’ trope, which isn't exactly my cup of tea.
Personally, I would've preferred a slower burn. Things start feeling a bit repetitive later on, which dampens the excitement.
And while it's a good read overall, there were moments where it dragged a bit.
But hey, despite its flaws, The Lost God offers a fun escape, especially if you're up for some light-hearted adventure.
