The storytelling style is very unique and unlike anything I've read before. You'll know by the first ~50 pages whether it's for you or it's not. I will say I would not recommend reading this exclusively on audiobook because there aren't really chapters, the pov changes frequently, and there are interjections from random people that are just italicized to indicate their thoughts. The physical text, the way it's printed helps a lot with comprehending what's going on. Despite all of that once I got into a rhythm with the unique style of storytelling I did get used to it and even enjoy it.

However, I did feel like this book really leaned on that storytelling style and there were some things lacking from the world building. I don't enjoy when magic isn't really explained (like being a god just gives you ultimate power? ok...well that's kinda lazy imo). The pacing of the plot is also a little all over the place. It meanders in parts, but then has really great sections that are super engaging. The final 'conflict' really did kinda throw me for a loop which I think came back to a bit of lacking in the world building and it felt like we got a lot of explanations at the end because they had to be included for it to remotely make sense.

I did really enjoy our central two characters Keema & Jun, and their journey/relationship. So the very very end resolution with them was satisfying.

Overall I'm glad I read it for the experience! I don't think this book is for everyone, but is worth a try if you're looking for a really unique standalone fantasy.
