I give this book a 3/5 Star rating.
Key thoughts:
This story had touching moments and showed a real insight into an area, as it goes from a peaceful life for the people in Warri to a wartime terror. I had trouble following the story at times and wish the characters were a bit more fleshed out. To be honest, it took me a while to get through this book, it just didn’t grab me and pull me in. Bonfires of the Gods is probably not a book I would have picked up on my own but I like to read outside of my comfort zone and read new things. Thank you to the author and publisher for allowing me to read this story through the Goodreads giveaway.
