Everyone in this book is terrible and I adore them all.

I don't know what I was expecting when I started this, but I was so invested by the end I was pacing my living room, anxious to see what was going to happen next. And that ENDING?!

The world building was effortless and I fully was in Georgia with Gem and this rag tag bunch of terrible, awful, messy, beautiful, queer gods. I bought all of this, hook, line & sinker and it was so refreshing to read a YA fantasy where the "bad" guys are quite literally everyone so it doesn't matter who you root for.

Gem is flawed and just- so absolutely lovely and stupid and angry and lost and perfect and I will fight for them. They're also hilarious and I was no expecting to laugh SO much. Everything about them just works and I want them being slutty and terrible and thriving.

H.E. Edgmon really said I support queer rights *and* queer wrongs, and I can't get enough. I need the second book, like, yesterday.
