Monuments by Will Kostakis
4.0
Trigger warnings: death, violence, end of a friendship.
I've thoroughly enjoyed all of Will Kostakis' other books so I was really curious to see what he could do with a new genre. I was a little hesitant when I first started because it basically hurls you straight into the action and I felt like I didn't quite know the characters yet.
But it proved to be pretty stinking delightful. It's fast paced and full of action and it reminded me a lot of a Rick Riordan book, but set in Sydney and with a non-specific mythology to the gods in question. There's a ton of diversity in the story which was utterly delightful. I had the pleasure of hearing Will Kostakis speak about his writing career and this book specifically on the day I finished it and hearing the passion with which he speaks about this story and its sequel was fantastic.
