scoutt 's review for:

No Gods, No Monsters by Cadwell Turnbull

3.0

Some aspects of this book I really enjoyed and latched onto (the complex characters and their lives/motivations and different relationships--and I think Calvin's perspective is particularly fascinating) but due to the narrative style the plot was hard to grasp for longer than I'd like and I almost dnf--things picked up and kept me invested enough to finish but the ending felt less than satisfying even as the end to the first in a saga.

What I initially picked the book up for was its take on werewolves and while the lore/worldbuilding there was a little sparse, what I did see I thoroughly enjoyed--

That said, if ---VAGUE SPOILERS FOR END BELOW---

If Laina and Ridley are agreeing to what I think they are at the end and there is more focus on that particular monster in the next book, my opinions may shift.
