- Andrea Stewart has such an inventive mind. I am obsessed with the premise and setting of THE GODS BELOW. A destroyed world, a power hungry god, underground cults/resistance movements, magic, sisterhood, and more.
- There is so much going on plot-wise here I can’t even begin to cover it all. Like her previous series, there are multiple points of view and each person is working toward their own ends, sometimes with and sometimes against the others.
- The downside to all this plot is that the characters don’t really have the space to be fully realized. Each of them is very single-minded in their goals, and the romantic relationships that spring up don’t have much chemistry to them.
- Regardless, I’m certain I’ll continue with this series because I want to know where it’s going.

- OUT OF THE DROWNING DEEP is deeply inventive and terrifying, blending sci-fi and fantasy to great effect.
- It’s a novella, but the synopsis above barely scratches the surface of what’s going on. It’s a murder mystery, but it’s also about autonomy, grappling with trauma, and biblically accurate angels.
- I think if you like authors like H.E. Edgmon and Andrew Joseph White, you should check this one out.
