I genuinely can not stand books where the main character is this wildly unlikable. FOR. THE. WHOLE. BOOK. And I don't think there was one minute in this book where I actually liked Gem. Maybe in the last page or two. But that's it.
The book was written well enough that if the story had been slightly different I would have been super in to it. I mean, who wouldn't want to read a story about queer reincarnated gods?!?!
But there is not character growth enough in the universe to get me to feel anything other than annoyed hatred for shitty, self-centered characters who do Olympic level mental gymnastics to convince themselves they don't suck.
This book is for sure someone's cup of tea. I'm just sad it wasn't mine.
