ivypuppy 's review for:

To Cage a God by Elizabeth May
2.0

I wanted to like it so bad. Maybe part of my problem was that I went into it only excited for the sapphic characters. But I just was disappointed. It felt like a very shallow dystopian novel. The characters felt like it was instalove, the sex scenes just kind of happened with so little buildup, the villain was ridiculously superficial. It was like she wanted to give her a motive but couldn’t actually let people sympathize with her so they just made her ableist and… kind of a eugenist? Just causally not letting her disabled/chronically ill daughter marry to keep her from passing the disease on. Will I read the second book? Honestly I don’t know. I got this in my illumicrate sub so I would have to get the expensive edition to match and I am content with the ending as it was.
