No
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
No
A very slow burn. Things didn't really get moving until 80% of the way through - and at first flipping between the narrator and "you" was very disconcerting.
Once I got the hang of how it was written.... I still struggled. The entire book is backstory & build up to book two.
There are many gods in this land, typically they focus on a specific thing (weapons, food, weather, etc) but others are more broad (the Forest protects the town from sickness)
This story follows Strength & Patience of the Hill, who is a rock god & her story over time.
