One word. Boring. I tried and tried to read this but it progressively got worse as chapters went by.

The summary is blatantly misleading and is my number one complaint, if anything else.

  • Actually, what would of saved this novel, is if in fact, the MC was a cult leader or actually just a villain - and that this series leaned more into the fantasy and action aspects rather then the "talk you to death" approach.
The griping issue with this novel is that it's clearly meant to be plot driven.

  • The issue with this approach, if not executed properly, is boring your reader to death.
Areas of issue I have with this novel could be summed up in the following:

  • Plot driven but boring. The world created is interesting, however the utilisation of it is wasted.
  • Fantasy aspects, (Gods, "Magic", Blessings), not used in interesting ways to draw in the reader or rarely used in an active fashion.
  • Endless rambling. Pointless dialogue that don't add anything to the story or characters.
  • POV changes. It can work well, but in this novel, no. I was not a fan of how this series switched POV's. To be quite frank, I couldn't care less about Nasir's POV on things. I simply didn't care or want to.
This series has potential but it's wasted. The world created really piques my interest but it's severely underutilized.

Rise of the Othergod Apostle: Not a Cult Leader, but a Serf?! Reads to me more as a story that lacks proper direction and focus.
