I will talk about it more on the podcast, but this is a very broken novel that is nonetheless an enthusiastic recommend from me.
Set in South Africa of the 2060's, Prey of the Gods combines sci-fi, fantasy and horror with well-developed characters that are very hard to love and yet force you to love them anyway. It's a story of ancient/hidden gods and demigods of Africa rising in a gritty near-future Port Elizabeth, and of a half-dozen disparate characters whose arcs eventually converge.
It is frenetic and wildly imaginative and captivating and is worth reading for the world and the characters. The plot however veers wildly, and some very interesting elements are downplayed or dropped by the end, so I was both thrilled and frustrated with the whole thing.
I recommend it, and I'll be checking out more of her work.Statistics: Posted by Mike — Thu May 31, 2018 7:41 pm
