The first half of this book started really strong for me I was super intrigued and enjoyed the world building as well as being interested in the stories of our two main characters.
But after hitting 60% I found myself losing interest. I didn't care where the plot was going and the repetitive writing of the book made it far too long for me. (& I mean I love a chunky book but there needs to be meaning for the chunk)
The main point of issue for me ended up being the characters in this book. We had two protagonists who's voices were too similar for me. I had a hard time defining the two. I did prefer the male pov over the female as we had an interesting convos about memories in his chapters. And all of the side characters and gods didn't have any personality for me.
That being said the book was well written just some pacing issues. And the world building was fascinating.
It is urban but set in a new fantastical world. Not our own. Which I like. It reminded me of the settings of City Of Stairs and Foundryside by Robert Jacson Bennett.
