Godly Heathens

“huh? How did I finish it so fast? When is the sequel?”.
Edgmon has crafted a great piece that explores queerness, trauma and pain, mental health, found family and morally grey characters. It intrigues me how brilliantly woven our MC's indigenous background is interwoven within the story and it features a strongly diverse cast, each with their own characteristics and personality. This book is a brilliant piece of escapism that takes you away from page one, right up to the last page and you go “huh? How did I finish it so fast? When is the sequel?”. Reincarnation of Gods, Morally grey characters, Enough stuff happening to someone they turn to Villainy? Urgh I loved it. I look forward to seeing where the author goes next. It is a book that is very of its time, and certain references were slightly jarring at time. Overall, certainly a piece I will be recommending to those teens who have felt out of place, misjudged, abused by peers, or obsessed with mythology. I guess... Younger me's...
