Great world building. I enjoyed the concept of every religion being correct. Seeing how they might integrate together was fascinating.
I read mostly romance with guaranteed HEA’s so it is different for me to read about a character that isn’t 100% loveable. Isaac is more real than most of the MC’s in my usual books. He isn’t ultra-heroic. He is an ordinary guy handling a situation above his skill level.
CW: child abuse, child death
I was glad that my sister read it before me so I could skip over a chapter.

A novel making novels novel again. Slater writes a digestible story that is in turn both serious and fun—it reads easy while being wildly original, no small feat. I want more of this sort of outside-the-box please!
