Godkiller, Hannah Kaner, 2023 novel. A perfectly reasonable fantasy novel, but for the most part I just didn't care. Very little here surprised me or made me go "oh that was cool". Maybe one tense moment when a character showed a darker side and one nice epic-action moment in the climax. Prohibition is Bad, moderation is Good, you can see where it's probably going with an additional Check rising to bring everything into a new Balance, all entirely just fine, but I think most of the fantasy I like these days tends to either be funny, or clever, or beautifully written, or shippy (there is a romance here but I didn't feel much attraction or tension between the characters), or several of those things at once. Oh, a couple of cool points here for a main-character amputee whose prosthetic leg affects things but also isn't the dominant thing about her, that was good. But not the kind of thing that would get me to read the rest of the series.
