Mythical/paranormal 

This book was… boring. The whole thing could have been 200 pages shorter and turned into a novella and had about the same emotional impact. The plot was glacial and set up like and escape room for the gods. The world building was shaky and surface-level. The characters were not very likable. The most interesting were the side character gods. 

Because the main characters were apart for 90% of the book, I was not at all interested in their romance or believed their chemistry.

Really, I wanted more of the gods, their war and magic system. 

Thank you NetGalley and Berkeley Publishing Group for an eARC of this book. All opinions are my own.
