The Republic of Salt by Ariel Kaplan
3.0
This book turned out pretty good. Not as good as the first one but good nonetheless.
I love how the author made so much diversity in this book. The Jewish mythology was a new taste on other mythologies. It seems most we see are Greek or Nordic. I enjoy finding out about other mythologies. I also love that there’s LGBTQ+ story lines as well. There are so many different story lines. It’s great but it is hard to focus that way.
I love fantasy books. And this one did give the epic fantasy feel. You also have romance to make this more of a Romantasy book. You have Toba and Asmel. And you have Naftaly and Barsilay.
There are two realms in the story so you will swap back and forth between the mortal realm and Mail realm. It’s great at times but sometimes confusing.
I won this book through a Goodreads Giveaway. My review is my own opinion and was not influenced.
