Book Summary:
Phex is a bit of a rare being. He's actually happy being a barista on a tiny (nearly forgotten) moon. It's certainly better than the life he led previously. Unlike most of his peers, Phex doesn't dream of being chosen and one day becoming a god.
Perhaps that is why he was picked. More likely, it was his voice that brought the attention of a curious alien/god recruiter. Whatever the reason, it isn't something Phex can walk away from. He'll just have to accept all of the risks that come with this new path in life.
My Review:
Oh wow. Divinity 36 has got to be one of the most creative books I've read in some time. As a fan of Gail Carriger, I knew this book would be good. I didn't know it would be THIS fantastic or this unique/compelling.
When I say this book is unique, I mean it. The world (universe), god system, even the characters – they're all different. In truth, it's the characters that sell this book. There are over a dozen secondary characters (some carrying more storytelling weight than others). It didn't take me long to figure out who my favorites were!
My advice would be to go into Divinity 36 expecting to read a book about Space Idols because that's basically what this is. It's a character-driven science fiction novel with musical elements. My only regret is that there was no soundtrack to go with it. Anyway, I need to add the rest of this series (Tinkered Starsong) to my TBR stack.
Highlights:
Science Fiction
Space Idols
