Godkiller by Hannah Kaner

I wanted to love this book. After longing for this book for a year, I found it in a rush of anticipation and hastily pushed my tbr aside to devour it. Devour it I did not.

10 long days of desperately reaching for some idolatry, an aspect, any aspect, that would make me fall head over heels for this book and the future of this series. It fell flat for me with the influence of 2023’s woke ideology.

I am torn at reading newly published literature. Do I attempt new books, for them to potentially fall flat, such as Godkiller, because it was like opening a fantasy version of far liberal ideologies? Or do I make further attempts and find more of Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo?

For now, I think I’ll read the old fantasy. And wait for the next of tried and tested series, such as Alex Stern, and maybe try some other series by newer authors who I’ve read thusfar – maybe I’ll try Six of Crows and Shadow and Bone.

Next in line is the last book of War and Peace, maybe some Tolkien for my old-timey fantasy that I’m in dire need of, some old Stephen King, or maybe even a quick thriller to get me through another book on the shelves (I’ve been eyeing a Lisa Jewell recently).
