I received an ARC through NetGalley

So I read the Black God's Drums by this author which I really enjoyed so I had little doubt I would like the writing (note: the writing was great). I was incredibly interested in the premise. I think it's a hard one to write that not every author would be capable of doing. Taking such monstrous people from our world and twisting them to be real monsters while messing with other elements. It worked. It really did. I would've actually loved for this to be expanded into a full novel. The whole story was unique and creative and fresh which isn't the easiest thing to pull off when it's actual history. I'm not American but even with my understanding of US history from Canada, I was able to understand it. It's very clearly American history but still absolutely accessible to non-Americans.
