I really enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend to others if you want to read something unique in the fantasy genre. This is my first foray into the sub genre of Steampunk Fantasy and I was really nervous at the beginning that I won't understand the world building properly but let me assure you that the author did a phenomenal job in explaining the world in easily digestible prose without any info dumps. We learn about the mechanics of this world along with our characters so I felt very connected to the story throughout my reading experience.
The characters were well fleshed out in my opinion and I loved the descriptions about the powers and appearance of various species that resides in various domains and their respective Gods. Quen and Jinx are my favorite characters and I hope we get to see more of them in the next installment. I loved all the members of the Godless team and am excited to read more about their upcoming adventures.
The pacing was okay but I think if the book was 50 to 100 pages shorter especially the middle part then it would have enhanced the overall reading experience for me.
