Slow Gods feels like staring into the night sky — beautiful, endless, and a little overwhelming. In this space opera the stakes are high (as in world ending high). What stood out most is the use of genders. While eight genders exist with distinctive pronouns the Powers That Be aka Shine only allow two — an intriguing, powerful commentary on control and identity. The story explores life, death, and rebirth, and whether the person who returns is still the same. The narrative voice is extremely interesting, and I'm still not grasping it enough to describe in a couple of words. And most of all, the void between the stars is a concept I’ll be thinking about for a long time. The universe is vast, which sometimes makes it hard to fully connect with the characters and the overall plot. A thought-provoking, daring, and unforgettable read. 4/5 stars Thank you @netgalley and @littlebrownbookgroup_uk for the eARC! #SlowGods #NetGalley #Bookstagram
