Ruthless Gods

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

3.5 stars

Okay, here is the thing. I love the characters. These murder babies are adorable and they are fun. Their conversations are such a joy to read. The adventure is also super interesting. I love the concept of the book and when I think back (I read this... 4ish months ago) on it, I have mostly positive thoughts.
The thing is... it is mostly confusing. I wasn't exactly sure what was going on while I was reading it and even afterwards I'm confused with what happened and where it is going. There is also a lack of trust between the characters, so they don't know exactly what is going on either, which means the reader isn't exactly sure what is going on. So, I did have to push myself through this one at times.

I'm thinking once I read the third book, I'll understand this one more, so if I ever go back to re-read the series I would enjoy it more. Maybe...
Anyhow, like I said, looking back I think of this book fondly and I do recommend this one to people who like gothic fantasies.
