The Gods Below by Andrea Stewart

4.25

This new high fantasy story with gods and magic is both terrifying and inspirational. The restoration is terrifying; I actually had disturbing dreams after reading those scenes. Hakara is the type of character everyone hates but you can't help but love. It also shows the dangers of one religion without anything to limit its influence. Ms. Stewart emphasizes the importance of asking questions, challenging the status quo, being true to yourself, and pushing boundaries.
