chaosmavin 's review for:
No Gods, No Monsters
by Cadwell Turnbull
Wow… Just wow! This book is amazing! I didn't know what I was getting into… Someone recommended it and it happen to be available on Libby so I went for it… It is such a interesting and well written book. I actually didn't even know it was a series until I got to about 55 minutes left and I was like "crap this isn't gonna wrap up… It must be a series". If you read any of my other reviews you know I'm not particularly fond of series… I mean not generally... but yes I did just post a review five minutes ago about another series that I love… thankfully none of you are really paying attention!
So this is just social commentary sci-fi/fantasy at it's finest! It is extremely relatable and I think captures much of the tone of social justice movement currently happening in the US... Of course with a heavy dash of the supernatural which isn't generally happening in social justice movements… Or at least not here in the US.
I will say this is one of those times that I wonder if reading the book would have been just a little bit easier to follow than the audiobook. The narrator of the audiobook has one of the most silky sexy voices ever but he's not as awesome with character voices... so I did find myself rewinding a little bit to figure out which character we were actually hearing from. I do think this is not entirely the fault of the narrator as I think the book bounces a lot and it generally feels like a lot of unconnected vignettes until you get later on in it.
Hey why don't you read it for yourself and let me know!
