Martijn Reintjes reviewed The Prey of Gods by Nicky Drayden
Review of 'The Prey of Gods' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
The book probably was written for a slightly younger audience I still enjoyed it quite a lot.
Even when I noticed the author trying to cram in as many different sexual orientations as she could:
girl - boy
boy - boy
boy - trans boy
girl - demon/demi god
demi god - demi god
boy - robot
It felt a bit over the top, but oh well.
I (of course) especially liked the self aware robots and how they where interacting with the world.
Oh and it's always fun to read sci-fi that is not US oriented. Because looking at where that country is going, it doesn't seem that it has much future anyway. I rather by in South Africa :)
