The Black God's Drums

I'm going to say that, for me, this book was okay. I didn't like it, I didn't dislike it. It was mildly entertaining to listen to while I was at work. And this is why I don't know if my biggest problem was because I was listening to it or because it just wasn't working for me.

Because this book seemed very abrupt. I mean, it didn't feel like there were any transitions and, more than once, I wondered where the people were and why those characters were in this scene. I don't know. (I also felt very jarred by just how young the MC is.)

Beyond that, much like my usual problem with novellas, it seems compacted in such a way that I struggled to care about the characters or the plot. And, ultimately, wondering what the point of the plot actually was. Two stars taken away for that, one star added back for being so girl powered.
