City of Stairs

DRAGGING, at first this was what I felt as the story started, and here I thought there were so many 5 stars from goodreads, so read along I did.......................................................................

Wow!!!!!!!! When you start the good parts it jumps at you (clap clap clap Mr. Bennett!!! Those five stars were not flukes), this is a story of the waning of Magic and the start of Science, at first those unknown tidbits(Blink, The Divinities, the Divine)were a drag because you kept hinting and hinting and nothing..........nothing happened, and your choice of protagonist Shara Thivani a Diplomat(?????)
and her secretary Sigurd(now him I like, violent let the fist do the talking type), and your antagonist was the uhhhhh..........dead gods or no, humans who love the dead gods or wait, the arrrggghhhhhh........well that was what I felt until the slow unraveling of the story, who the Divinities are, the Divine, the miracle.......all of these!!!!!! What a revelation(honestly never has a book bamboozled me so.................

I am now a certified Bennettic.......keep them coming!!!!! Ohhhhh I see the trilogy was done!!! Ok then Book two here I come!!!!
