The Hunger of the Gods

I heard a lot of positives fresh from reading Shadow of the Gods. The follow up, The Hunger of the Gods was quite disappointing. So many people were singing its praises, and I bought into the hype with little hesitation.

But I find myself in the minorty. I didn't like reading this book. It was too ordinary. It felt like a Ron Howard movie, with fake tension and characters I didn't care for. The stakes, however high they might be, feel hollow when the plot is monotonous. This is my first real disappointment in 2024.
