Divine Rivals

3.5

I genuinely liked the main concepts here- the magical typewriters felt unique and captured my attention. It's by no means perfect though. I think a significant amount of world building is missing here though. Like obviously not a historical time since there are Gods out and about and all, but truly what am I supposed to be imaging? Typewriters have been around for generations in the novel, there's modern showers and kitchens in every house, but then it's mixed in with aspects that seems incongruent with those technologies like the stark lack of phones or telegrams or any other way to communicate other than letters. It's odd. It's not explained enough.

It's otherwise a novel you can breeze through. The emphasis on a quick marriage was a bit odd to me, but you know, whatever works for you.
