pjays 's review for:
Gods of Jade and Shadow
by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
I wanted so badly to end up liking this book but it just fell so flat in so many different ways for me. The summary is incredibly misleading, this book is set in the 1920’s but it’s very surface level description.
I didn’t like the characters that much, and the narration was in an odd... third person, distant pov? The characters felt so cardbord-like because of this. The entire plot is the same scenario over and over, and frankly the lore part of this stort was not described well at all. I felt like I had no idea what stuff really meant the entire time.
Super disappointing read and I shouldve dnf’d but I was falsely intrigued by the shallow romance subplot
