Short review for a short book.
If this book had been twice the length, I probably would have loved it. The writing was lovely but there wasn't enough character connection and world building for me.
If Nghi Vo ever decides to publish a full length novel, I'll definitely give it a shot.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the e-arc!

I thoroughly enjoyed this Hunchback of Notre Dame retelling! From the first page I was sucked in by the magic system and it got better from there. There were twists within twists and by the end, you don't know who to believe.
The world-building could use some expanding but I think that will be rectified more in a 2nd book. I really appreciated how much grey area there was in terms of who was good and who was bad. Overall rating 4.5 stars!

Why did I wait so long to start this series?? I can't wait for book 2!
I'm so glad a co-worker recommended this to me! I am always game for dragons and Evan Winter incorporated them in a very unique way. It's an African-inspired fantasy revenge story and and I couldn't put it down. I love a good revenge plot and the African inspiration made it all the more compelling.
I also particularly enjoyed that Tau isn't a "chosen one" and wasn't innately good at something from the beginning. He worked incredibly hard to acquire skills and that's not something I see a lot in adult fantasy.
“The days without difficulty are the days you do not improve.”
I'm so glad it's going to be a quartet!

THIS WAS SO GOOD! I'm so glad I got my hands on an e-arc of Ruthless Gods after that ending!
