i have never read a book that follows a main character with such corrupt morality. this novel truly delves into the psyche of someone who seeks the power of a god, and what that does to a human being. it was dark and brutal, and deeply insane at some parts.
i definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a novel that is told mostly from the point of a villain-adjacent character.
