"Time renders all people and all things silent. And gods, it seems, are no exception." Wellllll, I hate to be the odd duckling here BUT I just didn't love this as much as everyone else did. Now that's not to say that I didn't enjoy it. I just didn't fall hopelessly, googly- heart eyed in love with...
When is it necessary to kill a character to get a point across? I’m thinking about Vo here. By the time we get to the point when things get moving, I’ve already seen how damaging his religious upbringing had been to him. I've already seen how it had wreaked him and how this agony had shaped him into...
This review can also be found at Carole's Random Life.I really enjoyed this book overall. I decided to read this book because I have seen so many glowing reviews for it. Since everyone seemed to think that this is a great book and I like great books, I grabbed a copy and jumped in. I will say tha...

I wanted to like this book, I really did, but it became clear pretty quickly that this one wasn't going to resonate with me the way I had hoped. City of Stairs reads a lot like a historical fiction novel and a mystery rather than a fantasy. The language is rich and descriptive, but in places it tend...
The city of Bulikov once wielded the powers of the gods to conquer the world, enslaving and brutalizing millions—until its divine protectors were killed. Now Bulikov has become just another colonial outpost of the world's new geopolitical power, but the surreal landscape of the city itself—first sha...
I am reading this at recommendation of ReaderWriterVille. What a fascinating book - mystery, fantasy, implications of one country being basically enslaved by another in the past, rebelling, starting a war, killing their gods and now forbidding people who want to remember to actually remember. Grea...
