I think everyone is suffering from cabin fever. What book have you read recently, and you were just blown away? And just like life, it’s gritty, it’s brutal, but the author handled it well.


They felt real and I loved how they all have grown through the book. I definitely felt like I was in a different world, embedded in it. I have a bad habit of skimming long drawn out descriptions. I liked the balance of action and description when it came to the setting. I never knew what I’d find next, it kept me turning the pages. The complexity of it, how the author wove all the subplots together, switching between the antagonist and protagonists.

This adventure begins as the story of Maurin and his cousin who get abducted off their planet and sold into slavery on another planet, and then we find them playing a part in a much larger, complex story. MaZoë Book Club‘s first book of the year was Bid the Gods Arise by Robert Mullin.
