This review was originally posted on StrupagI'd heard a lot of great things about this book prior to picking it up. Fantasy told from the perspectives of multiple characters, Gods trying to regain entry to the world, people and cultures with their own beliefs, men vying to be King, it all sounded pretty good. And it was. I really enjoyed the first half of the book, maybe even up to 70% but then I kind of got bored, which surprised me as the last part of the book has fighting, battles, action. Yet I got bored of reading passages of fighting, injury, blood, death. Why? Well, I've been trying to figure that out. I think there was just too much description, too many fight scenes and I just lost interest. Also, I'm not sure that I really cared about any of the characters, except Crys.

Believe me, I'm really disappointed, I wanted to love this. Indeed to begin with I was absorbed by the story and the world. I kept hoping I'd get back to that but it just didn't happen for me.

If you've read this I'd love to know your thoughts. I think I'm definitely in the minority with this. Maybe I just wasn't in the right mood?

All that said, this is a creative book - I enjoyed the world building and concepts, but sadly it didn't hold my attention.
