No Gods, No Monsters by Cadwell Turnbull
3.0
A bit of a mixture of American gods and the library at Mt Char. While that sentence alone would typically make onethink this would automatically be a 5 star review, something in this book just never quite grabbed me.
I fully allow that it is possible this book was a bit smarter than me. It is also possible some of what I've heard referred to as the "woke" elements in the story were handled a bit too heavy-handedly for my tastes. It's also entirely realistic that for whatever reason I just didn't care about some of the characters or more mundane elements in this story and that felt like a bit of a shame; perhaps on me.
Whatever the reason for my never quite getting absorbed into this very interesting idea of a book, I will definitely be keeping my eye on this author and any subsequent titles in this series. This is some high-falutin urban fantasy / magical realism and you don't see that nearly enough, I'm going to stick it out and see where this goes.
