Theatre of the Gods by M. Suddain
4.0
I have had to come back to this and write something about it. I don't know how I came to having this book but I do just end up with them sometimes.
It's so clearly not my sort thing and I struggled to get into it or understand a lot of it. And then something seemed to slap me in the face right off the page. The turn of phrase is beautiful and relevant and even though it is set in a universe that doesn't exist, the portrait of humanity in the face of adversity is breathtaking. From characters whose dreams are constantly thwarted to the baddest of the baddies, they were all individual, colourful characters who I keep thinking about. There are a few books I keep and open up sometimes just to see what they have to say and this has become one of them. It is a great source of comfort.
