I assumed this was a standalone novel or the first book in the series, but I was surprised to see that this is the second book already.
I wished that the publisher would have stated it beforehand, so I could give this book a fair chance for a review.
Giving it a neutral rating for now.

DNF
Now before yall come at me because I'm the only one who couldn't make it through this book, let me say that I'm in a reading slump and this just wasn't what I wanted and needed. Plus it just wasn't doing it for me. (the one star is because NetGalley doesn't allow any rating/DNF)

I am not a black review so I cannot speak on the rep, but from own-voices reviewers, they did find it was done very-extremely well. The writing was amazing and gripping. E. O. Odiase can really write a novel. THE WORLD BUILDING WAS AMAZING, I could really grasp everything from the very beginning. HOWEVER, the characters were not totally engaging and interesting, I was not here for them and I could not continue because I am a character person (as much as I love world building) so this was just not the book for me. I don't not recommend this book, but I also don't recommend this book, you know?

A Dance for the Gods

A Dance for the Gods is the second book in the Last Warrior King series. The plot thickens as the Gods continue to exact vengeance and royalty is overthrown. Greed and ignorance causes many of the main characters to fall further into chaos.

I found this book to be quite jarring in a way. It constant switching back a forth between so many POV that at some points it was difficult to keep up. I absolutely loved Kalao, Esigie and Kamunde’s POV the most with their gradual redemption and conviction to go good.
I did feel that the language used in this book was somewhat choppy. Some of the descriptions included so much detail it somewhat overshadowed the point of the story at times.
Overall I would give this book 4 ⭐️ because I loved the plot line and fell in love with the characters! I can’t wait until the third installment.

DNF
Very bland writing, all telling and no showing, needs to be seriously edited.
Extremely predictable
I might try reading again later in the year if I’m bored
