astronad 's review for:
No Gods, No Monsters
by Cadwell Turnbull
3.5 stars
Beautifully written with extremely high potential as i was reading but it did not stick the landing. The ending is just a step beyond unsatisfying. I know that theres a sequel but I stand in the belief that the opening to a series is judged by its merit in acting as a standalone.
The characters, while all outwardly very different, all bleed together as their internal monologues sound identical (thought I concede that maybe this is an effect of Cal narrating the entire thing).
Overall though, a decent page-turner and genuinely intriguing throughout. I just think it was trying to do too many things and be too many things in too short a book.
