calathea_802 's review for:
To Cage a God
by Elizabeth May
I will start with the critique - but this is not to say I did not enjoy this read!
As much as I loved the final chapters, I found the rest of the book rather tiresome. The narration was oftentimes too erected with not much happening plot-wise. But paradoxically, I found myself struggling to keep up at first as I was thrown into a complicated world with a lot of history and was just a bit confused trying to understand what's going on and what are the main character's plans. I also missed the slow development of a certain relationship in the book, but I also understand why the author decided to make it the way it was.
But having that said - I actually enjoyed the book! I loved the relationship which Galya established throughout the book. I also liked that when reading this book, I was accompanied by a feeling that all will be alright - I knew I shouldn't expect a lot of roadblocks which characters would encounter, and that they will easily fight off any difficulty - I think I needed that this time.
I know it's expected to be a duology, but the Part I have such a nice closure at the end that I think I will not be getting at the Part II should it be published soon.
