The Mercy of Gods

I've been wanting to try out this author duo for the longest but didn't want to jump into another big series (but of course, this is series as well SURPRISE!) and this sounded like the perfect chance.

I enjoyed this book, mainly because of the plot twists. I loved that I couldn't really tell when one was about to happen which lead to a lot of 😲😲😲 moments.

The pace good as well. Nearing the end of part one so much has happened in one particular setting that it was kind of like overwhelming but in a good way.

I really appreciate the wide variety of characters and all their different motives and journeys throughout the story. One con about that though is that I couldn't for the life of me keep people straight especially when more people were introduced near the last act BUT I was just listening to the audiobook and didn't have the names in front of my eyes so it's not a really a slight on the story ... perhaps (they're just an a lot of people which IS realistic for the situation sooo idk 😅)

Overall, I'm glad I finally got to give this author a chance and as someone who is notoriously bad at following up with series, I leaning towards yeah more than meh when it comes to picking up book 2 so win!
