The Black God's War drops us into the middle of a seemingly senseless war between two equally interesting cultures. The plot takes place in a short period of time, giving us more of a snapshot than a deep story. I definitely wanted to know more about the background, like how the war started. But despite that, the book is well worth reading. The characters are engaging, and the belief systems worth a deeper look (How are the sages trained? Are the gods directly involved only with the nobility?) Further volumes should flesh out the world Mr. Siregar has created. And kudos to the editing, which makes for easy reading. All in all, a very good first book from this author.I received a complimentary copy of this book in order to review it.
