Thank you to NG for an e-arc and St. Martins Press for a gifted finished copy. All opinions are my own.

God, I adored this book. 

Godly Heathens is one of my most anticipated releases this year - and it did not disappoint. 

I received this e-arc version, but surprisingly I was gifted a finished copy and honestly lost my fucking mind. 

H.E. Edgmon is a brilliant author, 

I have to do this in point form to even bring across all the points for this book: 
- The trans and queer joy.
- "Gods are not cis" ugh god this was so good but makes so much sense like why would a god be cis when they are above our gender norms?
- All the characters. They were so fucking good. Even the ones you're suppose to "hate" you end up loving them.
- Plot twists. There was a good portion of them but they didn't make the story seem silly or that Edgmon was just doing it for the "wow" factor.

I do not know when book 2 is coming out but I need it immediately.
