Masters of Death by Olivie Blake
3.0

Olivie Blake has been on a roll since her breakthrough with The Atlas Six and Masters of Death is her fourth renewed release since then. The book is about a group of creatures who unwittingly become involved in a quest to save the world. The characters, predominantly Vi and Fox, are diverse and intriguing, with a healthy dose of sarcasm that adds to the book's charm. However, the storyline feels a bit scattered, the world-building is confusing or rather nonexistent and the writing style good, but quite flowery. Although the book features multiple gods and creatures, it lacks a certain depth. While the plot's build-up is intense, the execution falls a bit short. Despite these flaws, the dialogues are enjoyable, and the book has its moments. Overall, Masters of Death may not be for everyone, but it still holds potential for a fun read.
