I liked this book, it is a unique approach to the fantasy genre and the audiobook format really worked for me. There is a lot of information about the world that wasn't clear to me, though I appreciated the way things were slowly revealed or explained so that there wasn't an overwhelming amount of info in any specific scene.
Looking forward to the next book in the series! Will do a more complete review after finishing it.

We are the Origin was a unique, creative, and increasingly addictive read! It begins and ends with drama which is just how I like Fantasy. It took me a little while to get into the story as I was listening to the audiobook which sometimes made it hard for me to grasp some of the world-building and relationships. The audiobook did a great job at creating the “gods’ voices.
I think this book was quite feminist and refreshing. Looking forward to the next book!!
Heads up, this is New Adult Fantasy! It includes multiple mentions of sexual relations.

Fantasy, Gods, Incarnation & Assassins what's not to like? The world building is extensive but not too confusing to understand. The world built around these characters and the dynamic given to us as readers is something I'd call authentic and probably the most creative I've seen in a while. I was not disappointed at all with this book and I'm excited to see where we go next.
