So I went into this with low expectations- I had read reviews saying that it was basically just a romance or that the plot didn’t make sense. But I have never been more happy to be wrong. 

From the first chapter we are introduced to new characters, and a new plot (maybe?) which makes you think of all the questions you’d never had: what exactly are the gods? What’s going on in the rest of the world? How does this link together?

And you gather more and more plot threads which you put together, or should I say the characters put them together as we follow their progress, discovering such a rich world and story. The way elements were linked was amazing. 

Yes, I can understand that some people find Lazlo and Sarai a bit sappy, but you do not want to miss out on grandmother Suheyla being the no nonsense grandma we all need.
