A review by readthesparrow
To Gaze Upon Wicked Gods by Molly X. Chang
Did not finish book. Stopped at 10%.
First ten percent was almost pure infodump, heavy on the tell, skimpy on the show. It didn’t pull me in.
Also, despite the authors letter opening with a discussion about the war crimes committed by Japan (with specific mention of Unit 731), the bad guys are, for some reason, Rome? But a version of Rome that’s Definitely Not Just Britain, which is something I personally dislike—if you say Rome, I want Rome, not Britain with a splash of paint over it.
[Edit: Watching and reading reviews now, I'm so glad I DNF'd this.]
