Review #2
I'm back after re-reading No Gods, No Monsters in a group setting. Reading it again with others definitely gave me insight into things I missed, and rereading it myself I was able to see connections I brushed over previously. why it got so little star rating on GR, I'll never know.
Once again you will be engaged with this text. Turnbull knows how to engage his readers. His writing style is made to draw his readers in. He gives close thought and attention to detail in all of his works. The disjointed nature of the narrative was not as jarring this time around. It was easy to pick up other characters from one narrative to the next. The different POVs add to what is happening between the different forces at play. I cannot wait to see how everything unfolds once again.

Turnbull knows how to write a page-turner. From the beginning to the end of No Gods, No Monsters Turnbull kept me reading. The flow of the writing and the mystery of it all kept me wanting to pick up the book throughout the day. I will say you will not walk away from this book without being engaged with the text.
The disjointed plot and narrative of No Gods, No Monsters kept me in confusion for a lot of the book. I wonder constantly where we were going with the plot, I know this is part of a series but Turnbull definitely sets this book up to be an intro into the trilogy. I thought there was a lot of learning still be done about the characters, the plot, and the settings and we barely learn any of it. The amount of characters he has throughout this book is too much to remember until the very end of the book. ps. It’s hilarious how he acknowledges he has too many characters in his acknowledgements like at least you know sir.
No Gods, No Monsters will be interesting for those who like disconnected narratives and a lot of characters. Turnbull's writing is a thing of beauty. The mystery of the whole story will keep you reading and will make you pick up the next book. I can't wait to learn more about the monsters, magic and how it ties into the world as a whole for everyone involved in the main narrative.
