Fun book that genuinely subverts expectations. It feels meta, all of the POV characters are authors or work in the industry and they understand the different plot devices happening in the story or make reference to them in passing. It has a good mystery and relatabe characters. One annoyance is a plot point / mystery set up in the opening chapters is payed off in the epilouge in a not interesting way. There was lots of suspense to this detail and nothing real happened with it. Regardless easy reccomend to mystery fans

I liked the commentary, especially near the end. Thinking about what this book is trying to say about life and current culture makes me sad, yet optimistic.

It's very good, but not as much as Song of Achilles. The idea and concept of telling the ‘life' of an immortal goddess is something very challenging to figure out, especially because parts of the book seem pointless, or the plot never has a real direction, just years happen. In someways this is good immersion and is interesting, but can be boring to no fault of anyone. I wish there were a few more hints to the ending but it was very good.

Good but not as much as the previous book.

S tier book, not a genre I knew I needed. Will be reading the rest of this series. 5 stars because it was not only good, but gave me a new genre to read. I mostly like how the book paces itself, but I got whiplash at some parts. Overall, would recommend to anyone who is a fan of Video Games or TTRPGs
