I was super excited to read this and I made sure that I grabbed that arc on BookishFirst with my points.
Now after finishing it, I feel a bit let down.
The biggest issue ANYBODY will have with this book is the magic / background regarding the Gods/Goddesses. It's never quite clear and or explained and what you can gleam and what is explained is no much. So you're left with a story that hinders heavily on this Goddess and her magic wielding beings and you're just confused and paying attention to the main characters.
The main characters remind me of a fantasy Sherlock and Watson, if Sherlock was a female with a mouth and Watson was a guy who had a distaste towards magic. There is also some sort of hidden/kindled romance that may be one sided by the Watson character?
I just really didn't care for it, but for an author's first book it wasn't bad and by the end of it something was added to the story that SOUNDED and read as interesting but I just felt that I was all in all bored with it that I don't think I'd continue.
Others may find something to enjoy from the book I just felt that it wasn't for me and I'm fine with that.
