The Gods of Men by Barbara Kloss

Did not finish book. Stopped at 72%.
  • The writing got better but is still pretty bad. It was not atmospheric or lyrical, and I had trouble figuring out the characters feelings or emotions most of the time, even tough they went trough a lot. 
  • The 1⭐️ is for the participation and the other because I read 200 pages in a day ,because I had faith in Jeric (he got worst), and because I didn’t see the racist undertone right away so clever Barbara kloss
  • The pedophilia scenes just to villainize Hagarn even tho he IS THE VILLAIN ALREADY you don’t need to make him a pedophile to prove us that he literally ENSLAVES people 
  • The love interest is uh… girl get away from him he’s been killing your people for two decades (even if you don’t know it yet) they don’t give the explanation of why he is so cruel he could’ve been the cliche nice rich prince in a bad family but he wasn’t he’s so racist his friends are trash he’s a serial killer (1000+ people) the love is practically non existent I liked him at first until he REFUSED TO KISS HER BC SHE IS FROM Istraa like there’s no redemption arc after that. Also he is randomly homophobic ?? We didn’t to add that to his character.
