  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

the most magical realism book i’ve read and I absolutely loved it. characters were so distinct and memorable despite there being a whole lot of em. I did enjoy our look into the world of the gods and just doing side quests with interesting characters. but I wasn’t a huge fan of the last but plot. but the ending was really good. tied everything in a nice bow even if it wasn’t super satisfying. would’ve been a 5 star if it weren’t for that few chapters where the plot felt rushed and like it was a forced grander meaning behind everything
