A review by rat_fairy
Godly Heathens by H.E. Edgmon
Did not finish book. Stopped at 67%.
i wanted so badly to love this, and i did love it at first, but it honestly is just going so far downhill for me.
throughout this book i’ve been much more interested in the contemporary aspects of this book— as it is incredibly comforting to read about
a fellow southern queer person
than yet another queer YA set on the west or east coast of america— than the magical aspects (to me the magic system just doesn’t feel unique, it reminds me of every other ya book with gods out there).
butwhen enzo was revealed to be the shade is where this book lost me. gem is defending him so hard and genuinely… for what??? i dont understand at all why they are defending the shade. also im sorry but willa mae has been a horrific guide since they first appeared on-page.
the point where i stopped reading was when marian basically tells gem that it wont be long until one of them finds the knife. that really frustrated me because: if red can download all of someones knowledge by touching them,,, and he punched gem,,, then he already knows everything about where the knife is. just in general very frustrating.
