Why read it?
1 author picked No Gods For Drowning as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I can’t say enough about how dark and foreboding this book is the entire way through. The gods are not kind in this book and yes, it plays with exactly how awful living in such a world would be. It’s such an atmospheric book that I swear I pictured it as being cloudy and rainy the entire way through.
I couldn’t stop thinking of it as a heavy, dark episode of a police procedural but far more critical of the powers at play.
From Brent's list on fantasy happening in modern-inspired worlds.
