A review by leootherland
To Gaze Upon Wicked Gods by Molly X. Chang

5.0

Special thanks to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine, Del Rey for the ARC copy they provided.

I regret that I wasn’t able to finish To Gaze Upon Wicked Gods before its publication date and leave an advance review, but life, as it often does, got in the way. I was able to read several chapters, though, and Molly X. Chang’s clean and beautiful writing style pulled me in immediately.

As did her storyline and blend of history with fantasy. There is culture and reality in the midst of the fiction elements of To Gaze Upon Wicked Gods, and this depth adds intensity to the story.

Though I was unable to read the whole book at the time of this review, I can say I already love To Gaze Upon Wicked Gods and look forward to reading it at my leisure for pleasure and not in the sense of “needing” to leave a review. There is a reason I kept seeing this book on most anticipated lists. I can confidently say you won’t be disappointed.
