Me, My Shelf, & I's Reviews > The Gods Below

3.5/5

There's definitely a lot going on and I feel like I'll need to take notes on a re-read before going into the sequel, but I'm intrigued by the world being built here. I think the characters are complex and interesting and I didn't see the ending coming, but sometimes the POVs could be a little too similar while listening to the audiobook, so I hope they get more differentiated in future.

I'd like to know more about the gods-- what makes them gods when so many other people have powers? They're clearly not fully immortal since they can truly be killed. Some of the magic system was explored in this book, and I know in the author's debut series there was a lot more explored depth in later installments, so I hope we see the same here.

Overall:
It's not a new fav or something I'm super excited about, but it's a solid and interesting start to a new series and I think the sister relationship at the core is very good and has potential to only get better.
