Synopsis
What if the History taught in school was a fabrication?
A thousand years after the fall of the Holy Empire and the murdering of Gods and Magic, Agatha ni Lubi-Mauri stumbled upon inconsistencies the government of Niparsha prefers forgotten. In her desire to earn her title as Master Historian, Agatha will threaten the most powerful city-state of the continent, and the lives of those dearest to her.
The uncovering of an ancient tomb may lead to the missing pieces of the puzzle Agatha was looking for, but things get dangerous as bounty hunters, mercenaries and the government itself are drawn into the investigation. Soon the first body is found, murdered, and the situation grows more complicated as a stranger with a mysterious past arrives in town.
God Kings of Niparsha is a standalone novel, part of the award-winning epic fantasy universe that takes as inspiration the many cultures and myths of the world, from an "African Roman Empire" with living gods to a "Phoenician Trading Company" with clockwork ships and much more.
God Rulers of Niparsha pulled in me for the introduce of secret and anticipation and won me over for the vibe, which blends a enchanted and antiquated world with modern angles. Niparsha may be a city that looks as lively as any other character within the book. We are curious about its past, its engineering, inconsistencies and its mysteries. Agatha, our hero who leads us through history, may be a relatable character. She's keen, diligent, and exceptionally ... ordinary. Yes, she is an mental, needs to total her proposition, is exceptionally decided, has a few uncertain issues in family , but does not fit in any specific generalization. Which made her exceptionally alluring as a character, since I didn't feel that anything in her advancement was forced. The plot also alternates between povs of auxiliary characters that bring us interesting scenarios and circumstances, such as grave thieves, soldiers of fortune and Gemma - one of the foremost curiously characters, she travels between mafia boss and authority of an highborn.
The rhythm of the story flows well, especially after the reader gets used to exchanging povs and getting to know all the characters. I confess that it took me a while, but the conduction of suspense in the work did not make the story uninteresting at any point.
Undoubtedly a book that I will read again.
