The Gods of Men

3.5.
I did like the writing, the pacing, and the two MCs in this. The magic and world building were nice especially the use of the flute as a weapon, but I wished it had more substance so to speak.
The other characters were a flat and uninteresting, especially one of the MCs brother and sister, also the Inquisitor had a lot of potential but his plot left me cold.
Also the GOT influences were obvious in the geography (like having a region named The Fingers in the exact same shape as the one in Westeros -_-). And one of the characters whose middle name is Oberyn...
