Hall of Smoke by H.M. Long
5.0
i wish i hadn't taken so long to read this bc i wouldve given it an actual 5, but its def a 4.5 from me rn
this was really fun and different!! about questioning belief (in religion and what you've been taught and told), vengeance, grief, war, and gods, lots of gods. cool to see the vikings/gauls/goths/romans influence on the different peoples here and a new type of fantasy story. recommended if you like percy jackson, the poppy war, or any viking media.
i think my only complaint is that its a little predictable, if thats a good word to use, until the end. but delving into the world and hessa's predicament and hard decisions took some really beautiful time to unfold so really its my own problem that i took so long. i hate my job for many reasons but rn bc it took up too much of my time so i couldnt read!
not sure what the second book could be about but this is a cool world, can't wait to see!!
