Gameboard of the Gods by Richelle Mead

3.0

ARC received on March 22nd 2013 - and I'm really excited to start this book very soon!

*I received a free ARC of Gameboard of the Gods from Dutton Adult via Edelweiss in exchange of an honest review*

Gameboard of the Gods is about a world where religion is all but forbidden, after religious extremists almost destroyed all humanity. Mae and Justin need to work together to make sure a religious war won’t happen again. The premise holds so much promise, with a very strong woman, both physically and mentally, different mythologies, a gruesome murder mystery as well as family drama. I went into this story with pretty high expectations – I love the author, usually adore her books, and I really looked forward to reading an adult mystery with lots of mythology.
