I read Godkiller by Hannah Kaner and it was not a big deal!

Godkiller (Fallen Gods, #1)Godkiller by Hannah Kaner
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I finished reading Godkiller and wish I had liked it more.

Unfortunately, for me, everything was really flat.

The story occurs in a world where a king has banned gods, and some Godkillers chase and kill them by request.

A girl is inexplicably bound to a small god and our Godkiller character is now afraid to kill the god which could end up destroying the girl.

They end up going on a journey to a lost city where wild gods still roam to try to find a solution to this problem, and a knight who fought in the old battle that ended up banning the gods joins them along the way, with his own intention to save the king.

The pace felt really awkward for me, everything moved too slowly or too fast at times. The plot was somewhat boring, the bit of romance was just atrocious.

I read it because I made a poll on my bookstagram and this book got the most votes. I'd love to hear from the people who enjoyed this book to know more about what was there to like in it because I could not find it.

It is still an okay book, I can imagine why some people would like it. But it felt like a gender studies major tried to rewrite The Witcher with a bit of inspiration after watching some playing God of War.

This may end up being the last book I will finish in 2024 and unfortunately will end up being the least interesting book I read this entire year.

My Journey as a Reader Continues

I decided to stop saying “hello, everyone,” as I understand absolutely no one reads this blog. Still, the narrator must introduce his voice in a text, so hello, and welcome to my blog. August was the first month where I did not make any updates to this blog since I created it. September was just about to become the second month, but I decided to step forward. My mom left Canada to continue her travels in Portugal at the end of September. Work has gone berserk over the past month, but I still was able to read a lot, even more, when I could finally step out for two weeks of vacation after 3+ years of constant work. Now, with all these readings that I have made, there’s just so much to talk about. I am at the prime of my experience as a reader so far in this lifetime. Above all, one thing that has been making a huge difference for me is getting soundtracks to match what I am reading. Since I started this journey of reading more and more, I have begun selecting ambiance tracks on youtube t...

I read Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie My rating: 4 of 5 stars I loved reading Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. ❤ The book is about a Nigerian girl who moves to the US for university. Living all her life in Nigeria, she has never perceived race as a problem, and getting to America, she recognizes herself as black and what race means to the American culture. It is a powerful book. As someone who has immigrated from South America to North America, there were a lot of relatable topics. I have wanted to read immigrant literature for a while, and I feel like I made a great choice to start things up. The only downside is that the book was a little longer than needed. I feel like about 100 pages could be cut out, and the ending was a little rushed. Still, it's a fantastic book! Cheers everybody! View all my reviews
