Sons of Gods is no longer in the Kindle Select programme. That means it is now available from major ebook retailers including the Apple iBookstore, Barnes & Noble, Sony, Kobo and others.
You can buy it at Smashwords for $2.99.
In other news: I've been in Guyana, South America, for the last three weeks, thus the lack of updates.
I'll soon be back with the blog.

I do not understand how on earth this book has such a high rating! It wasn't terrible. I've read worse. But you should know that I only ever stop reading a book if I'm bored, and not if I don't like a book. So, the good news is this wasn't a borin...

I assume you are reading my review because its one of the few two star ones. Knowing this, I am going to go ahead and spoil most of this story for you.

Yikes. I don't even know where to start with this one. Usually, when I think a book is bad, I can compel myself to stop reading it, much in the same way I will not finish a bad meal. However, because of all the lengthy and numerous positive review...

I finished the Night Circus and I agree with every word of your review. I am so annoyed with myself for not reading the i star reviews before buying the book - I would have been warned. What a let down. And yes, I did stick with it to the end - I felt I owed it to the author, who is a member of the same writing group I belong to and I know of her personal struggles to get it published. That's why I won't be writing a review myself.
Keep up the good work -- reading a bad review can really help people judge the book; your mention of "slugs" would have been a red flag to me!
