A copy of this novel was provided by Strange Chemistry via Net Galley.Let me start off this review by saying that the story of The Woken Gods is unlike any other I have read. It’s pure epicness in story form. I loved the thought of gods being woken up from a deep slumber, only to not take over the e...
I will probably read the second if I have the time, but some really lopsided and hamfisted world building. Loved the concept but the execution was meh. I'm largely indifferent to the protagonist
While nothing was glaringly bad within this book, it just wasn't entertaining. I didn't enjoy reading it, I didn't have fun with it. However, with all its faults put together, and just the lack of enjoyment that I got out of this book, I can't give it anything more than 2 stars. It doesn't rank as "...
(View this review on My Library in the Making.)When I first read that synopsis, I knew I'd love The Woken Gods. All that promised mystery, intrigue, and action? This magnificent book didn't just deliver—it surpassed. I may have just read one of my top ten fave books this year.The first surprise that...

This book was so much fun. The world was so intriguing. I really liked how the gods were integrated into the story (and that they weren't the usual ones we see). I liked Kyra as a character. Her relationships with her friends were well done. I know that there are no sequel plans, but I would love a ...
If there is one thing I am a sucker for its mythology. Greek, Norse, Egyptian, Celtic. I’m just a mythology nut so when a book comes along that involves mythology in a modern setting and has a ton of world building I’m pretty happy. This is that kind of book.This book is set in a world where the god...
4.5 stars Really, really strong story. Fresh characterisation and choice of gods, very likeable characters, engaging plot. This has the potential to be SO huge, I want more of this world! Sequel please? Full review to come.
This review is also posted on: Thoughts and PensNow, there were two reasons that I picked up this book: 1. It has the word gods in it and; 2. It’s Y/A which means that it most probably have the same elements that I love about Rick Riordan’s PJ series. Before you start making serious assumptions, Th...
