i think it was good in the beginning and middle but i got rlly bored near the end to where i was just skimming so i could finish the book.
i wish i could say i liked the characters but i couldnt really connect with them as much as i would like to. this is probably due to the environment they were in atm but nothing clicked with me.
relating to the statement above, i wish rebecca ross had fleshed out attie more. it felt like she was just kinda there to be there, maybe for diversity points seeing as she’s the only black character in the book.
worldbuilding was kinda lackluster, the gods could easily be removed and replaced with some random country names and nothing in the story would change. maybe then the “magic” aspect of the novel would actually make sense.
