Immersive and compelling, Steal Fire from
The Gods draws you into the journey of Gunnar Graves as he delves deep into what it means to have faith and to life a meaningful life.
This book is so much more than an intriguing novel about special powers and war-machine “gods”. It’s about self-discovery, finding passion, and experiencing new types of love. The characters drew me in with their unique perspectives and made the reading experience rich and full.
Gunnar is self-deprecating in a humors way that made me cheer for him as he grew and changed in this novel. And grow he did. I loved seeing him mess up and learn from it! But I also loved how Hall expertly draws poignant comparisons to life today in a way that is perceptive but also subtle.
The story itself, with its multi-faceted parts, is at once entertaining as it is a mirror for us to look back at ourselves and see what *we* are fighting for.
I highly recommend this book to lovers of scifi & thrillers with a little superhero love thrown in, but there is a story here for anyone willing to see it.
Note: Some graphic depictions of violence that could bother sensitive readers. I personally had no problems with it.
My rating: 5*
